achilles heel

I havenβt been able to retain
that we mended fences,
and that I don't need to tear up
when I hear your name anymore.
My body still insists I must,
says that it still remembers.
I would love to endure a conversation
in which you star
without bringing myself to my knees
like all the other times.
You are a 3 year old bruise
that still hurts to poke at.

I can totally relate to your words, I've been married now for 8 years the one before him still stings a bitΒ
Congratulations on 8 years wow! Though I wish the piece weren't relatable to you, healing isn't linear. I hope one day it hurts less. <3
Fantastically written, raw and true emotive write.
Thank you so much, wow! <3
