My apologies Dear

This pain, it hurts.

But it’s necessary.

I’ll be okay

Don’t worry sleep tight.

Wrap yourself in golden slumber,

Full of dreams

Ones you don’t remember

But keep you smiling upon awakening.

I’ll grow up

I thought the weight was always unbearable,

Pounds upon pounds of invisible fright,

Walking with crutches on a leg that’s just fine;

Weight I’ve been measuring with a broken scale;

It’s fixed now.

This uneasiness is only due to the medicine,

Needed to calm my feverish sleep,

And this is just a side effect of the bottle

But it’s necessary.

I need it,

You need it.

Sleep tight, little angels,

This divorce is nearly over.
