he held her during
her mental breakdowns.
the points where she broke,
and her knees gave out,
and she so desperately
wanted to retrieve the
razor from under neath
the mattress.
he wiped away her tears,
and would play with strands
of her hair.
but even then sometimes
she would push him away,
screaming as to why she
hated him.
he knew it was the depression
speaking.
but he couldn't help
but wonder.
i've been rejected so
many times and acted
unaffected, but if
she rejects me,
would i still be able
to walk away and act
like i didn't care?
