He's a ten...
Chigozirim 2004 (Ikeja)
He's a 10, but he tells you goodnight at 9 pm only to go talk to 8 different girls.
He's a 10, but he's left you with 8 different scars, and he comes back to apologize for the 7th time.
He's a 10, but he's given you 7 reasons to break things off, but you are blinded by the 6 bouquet of flowers he's sent to your office.
He's a 10, but he cut your call 6 times today only to come back with 5 lipstick stains.
He's a 10, but he's had 5 cheating scandals, but you have been foolish to believe his heart beats only 4 you.
He's a 10, but he has apologized 4 times this week for missing your wedding anniversary for the 3rd time in a row.
He's a 10, but he has slapped you 3 times this morning because you asked why he came back at 2 am for the fifth time this week.
He's a 10, but he's 2 beatings away from landing you in the hospital for that one attempt at standing up for yourself.
He's a 10, but he has left you in the hospital with 1% chance of survival and 0 support.
Looking back, is he a 10 or are you too afraid to leave before it's too late, and you are left with 0 chances left?
