i’m sorry i’m sad again, baby.
i know it can get heavy,
loving someone who can’t
hold themself together.

i wish i could be softer for you,
happier for you,
all sunshine and laughter.
but some days,
i’m just a storm
trying not to touch you.

i’m tired of apologizing
for the way my heart works,
but i still do,
because i never want you to think
this sadness means i love you any less.
i’m sorry,
sad,
and yours.
