I knew that I was
Traumatized
When he apologized
And I began to cry.
Not because he hurt me β
He didn’t β
But it was the fact
That he actually meant it
When he looked into my eyes.
How many times
Had I been broken
Before
To the point that
Common courtesy
Had become reality
No more β
To the point that
Human decency
Became such a foreign
Concept to me β
How hurt was my Heart
That it ached at his
Kindness to me?
Wound
