Given
Day 21
We fling insults
lose thoughts
pointed, selfish words
only lovers know the right ones
the ones that hurt
that rench
that wound
and still
love
it beats so loudly
it heals over
I'm holding you again
The most recent fight I had with my wife was over sending the kids back to school. I felt terrible. I felt like I was the gatekeeper thwarting my children from having a normal life. Trying to explain “why” but looking into my wife's eyes. The passion and hunger for normalcy. Have a normal school year. All I could do is spout facts / figures from websites. I felt like data from star trek and at the same time I secretly yearned for her position in the argument.
This year has been wrenching. I don't know what decisions you've had to make for yours. If its anything like my house, i've learned two things. Communication is a skill and hug it out. Wish you all the best.
