Apologies
I know you have said it all before
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it
The fight we had last night, you called me ugly
I’m sorry, you’re beautiful
When I didn’t respond, you called me stupid
I’m sorry, you’re smart
Your words brought tears to my eyes, you called me a child
I’m sorry, you’re more mature than me
I asked what was for dinner once, you called me fat
I’m sorry, you’re thin
Yesterday I talked back and you pushed me into a wall
I’m sorry, I love you
