Forgive me

 Forgive me.

Forgive me for the days I say I’m tired.
Forgive me for the nights I ask you to sleep so I can finally breathe.
Forgive me for the moments I feel relief when I have time to myself.

Forgive me for snapping when you just want to be close.
Forgive me for not always being okay.
Forgive me for the nights I cry because I feel like I’m not enough for you.

I promise you I try.
Every single day, I try to be whole for you.
To love you the way you deserve, to protect you, to give you the best of me even when I feel like I’ve got nothing left.

Forgive me for not being perfect.
But never question if you are loved.
Because mama would give you her life a thousand times over.
