Counting Mistakes
Fighting for a breath but lost in the moment.
Emotionally damaged a home in fragments.
A partner who kills an ego like it's a contest.
While I put an effort many would invest.
Silence the mind I become withdrawn.
Hate myself in ways that would upset a mom.
I love my wife I don't see anything wrong.
Mentally exhausted but can't confront.
Bipolar so she's easily triggered.
Noticed from day one but nothing sinister.
Emotionally abusive but I forgive her.
Love unconditionally altho there's a concern
Kiss the relationship goodbye once they count the mistakes. I tried to but always pushed that thought away.
