I’ve been having dreams

where you and I commune

 

Apology’s are exchanged in peace

Me for airing a laundry list of grievances

You for the wounds you punctured out of pain

 

Your face is different than when your mask slipped

It’s kinder and softer

How I remember you being

How I wanted you to be

 

I wanted to save you

With willpower alone I’d get the outcome I want

Knock down all the walls and forgive every slight

 

I’m no saint though

The log in my eye blinded me

Without boundaries all that was given was hurt and enabling

Driven by pride and my own will
