"Don't beat yourself up about it," He said this as if by hearing those words I would not receive the bruises and scratches That he repeatedly gave to me. That by hearing those words, Every hurtful thing he told me was flawed Could be erased Dissolved. He told me not to beat myself up about it As he was slicing me open.
