What if loving you is not enough?
What if I look at you every day but never fully see you?
What if the way I view you is distorted by what I wish to see?
What if I am unable to recognize the things I fear the most?
What if harm creeps into the spaces between my love and your needs?
What if I spend my life trying to keep you from knowing the darkness I know only to lead you straight to its doorstep?
What if my lessons teach you to swallow your pain?
What if my methods create a barrier that drives you away from me?
What if my efforts lead you to retreat within yourself?
What if I thought I was doing enough?
What if I believed that your mask held your truth?
What if I never saw your tearsβ¦your painβ¦your need for me?
What if I couldn’t even see the ledge you are clinging onto?
