Thank You

Nervous breakdown
number one hundred eighty one
but it’s the first time for you
and you’ve never seen me cry
until tonight
So, guilt overcomes me
and I utter an apology,
simple but sincere,
for ruining the perfect image
you’ve seemed to gather.
But even in what any creature
would consider a miserable moment,
you glow at the opportunity
to provide comfort
and wipe away the tears.
A beautiful heart
praying for the chance
to take away my pain
and I wish you understood
how much I truly love you.
