She yells at me for reasons unknown
Every mean thing anyone had ever said to her has now hit me 10 fold
There is no reasoning, no rationalization for her words or behavior
She cries thinking no one loves her
All you can do is reassure her that you are there and you care
She tells you she hates you
She calls you a liar and runs out the door
She doesn’t go far because she’s mad at the world
She knows they won’t understand her
She walks up and down and back and forth til she’s calmed herself again
She re-enters the house and asks for forgiveness
She tells me she loves me and lets me know I’m the best
What can I do, What can I say
I tell her I love her and to let all the bad slip away
She calms and slips into sleep for the night
All is forgotten once again
My only hope is that tomorrow is better
That she will learn to love herself
And stop hating me
Even though she professes her love for me
