You give me nothing but grace,
understanding, and patience.
Sometimes,
I forget how much I love you
and how much you love me
Instead, I react,
muscle memory
honed in on survival
I don't think you're trying to hurt me
but my body only knows one thing
and trust me
the body keeps the score
So, My Love,
I'm sorry you have to see me like this...
Really,
I am so sorry.
