\u00a0<\/p>\n
Treat you right; I want to.<\/p>\n
Speak to you gently; I long to.<\/p>\n
Uplift you; I yearn to.<\/p>\n
Build you up; I want to.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I have fallen short of my good intentions.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I cut you down.<\/p>\n
I dress you down.<\/p>\n
I demean you.<\/p>\n
I dismiss you.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I look out for any little mistake you make.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I pounce on you.<\/p>\n
I devour you.<\/p>\n
I shun you.<\/p>\n
I shame you.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I burn you down with my words.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not perfect yet?<\/p>\n
I loathe you.<\/p>\n
Are you showing signs of weakness?<\/p>\n
Keep off me!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh! Poor you.<\/p>\n
Oh! Dear me.<\/p>\n
Oh! Poor us.<\/p>\n
Oh! What to do now?<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
How do I build up this bridge I destroyed?<\/p>\n
How do I breach this gap between us?<\/p>\n
How do I heal these wounds I inflicted on you?<\/p>\n
How do I bridge the chasm between us?<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Let me go!<\/p>\n
Release me!<\/p>\n
Love me!<\/p>\n
Forgive me!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
These are the flimsy tokens I can offer you for now.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I know it will take time.<\/p>\n
I know it is a process.<\/p>\n
I understand it is a journey.<\/p>\n
It takes time to build the trust that I broke and heal your wounded heart.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I am all in, let us take it at your pace.<\/p>\n
Test and prove me to your content.<\/p>\n
But I implore you, don’t shut me out.<\/p>\n
Don’t push me out of your life.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Please!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
