steel toes
padded knees
you always knew
how to exist with me

made assumptions
for which i paid dearly
beyond material value
your gifts to me
focus
love unconditionally
looking beyond the mirror
of my flawed exterior
into the soul within
we scrub a dub'd in the shower
listening to sugar kane
cuz i asked what stinks
answered it was you
since you've been with me

steel toes
padded knees
you always knew
how to handle me
your greatest gift
unintentionally
