"Don't Be Sorry. Be Here." Inspired by Thirty to Sixty Days:

Don’t Be Sorry. Be Here.

You ran away from the hard conversation

again.

You could see and hear how I was hurt

how you hurt me.

You blamed yourself

too harshly.

So you ran away to fix it

any way you could think of

besides working it out

with

me.

You compounded the pain

by leaving me alone with it

without you.

You say you left for us

for me

but I don’t want you to just be sorry

I don’t want you to find the perfect solution

I don’t want you to struggle alone

I don’t want you to punish yourself

I want you here.

For better

for worse

in good times

in bad times

please

be here.
