A brief poem about holding one's tongue out of love
Blueberry pancakes.
Served them on a plate.
Look how my hand shakes.
They cannot relate.

Feel my pain and aches.
I have made mistakes.
Still try to be great.
They cannot relate.

Complicated hate.
Reactions delayed.
Overcompensate.
They cannot relate.
