He crept out the house
Snuck away in the night
Not for the first time
A regular occurrence of madness
She knew
She waited not knowing if he would return
Or where he was
He blamed drink
He denied all wrong doing
He told crazy lies
The trust was gone
Would she stay
Would she walk away
Even she did not know
To give up or keep trying
A decision only she could make
Trust gone cannot be re-earned.
