Snippets

And For That

You take the broken pieces
of your heart
to fill my missing pieces.
And for that, I thank you.
You use the empty spaces
from the broken pieces
to allow me in.
And for that, I thank you.
You use the painful memories
for the broken pieces,
for the empty spaces,
to make sure I have none.
And for that, I thank you.

I will never have to go through the things you did.
And for that, I'm sorry.
I didn't understand things
Like grief,
Like pain,
Like love,
until certain points in my life.
And for that, I'm sorry.
I will forget
your broken pieces,
your empty spaces,
and your painful memories
from time to time.
And for that, I'm sorry.

Yet, you still do what you do.
And for that, I love you.
You make sacrifices
that I'll never know of
and don't need credit for.
And for that, I love you.
You ask me
how I am,
if I ate yet,
because
"I love you"
makes it a big deal.
And for that, I love you.
I will always love you.
