And Repeat (Abuse) Slowly you have begun a habit that needs stopped. It needs attention paid to it. Now! Some days you are so very kind, some days you are not. There is no calendar, no memo, no forthcoming letter; “Be ready for a storm.” No. You are cold all night, colder than the sheets. You are short or snippy or have no answer at all. You will say it is me… Until tomorrow, or maybe the next day. Then… You will tell me you had this happen, or that is going on? You had an ache or pain, that was so terrible, you could not voice or express it, so you held it in, as if against me…?, that I would want to help you or pray for you. The expectation, that I forgive. The expectation, that I forgive. The expectation, that I forgive. The expectation that I will be here… when you get back.
