How easily he shames me

He knows my most intimate thoughts

and the guilt of what I leave undone.

The words he uses are not ones of compassion

though he tries to make them sound so.

I know he loves me.

Yet I find myself wondering

is this a healthy relationship

if I am constantly saying sorry?

My empathy for him

may just be my worst fault

for I can not help but want to help him.
