To a body betrayed

To a body betrayed

I am sorry

for all the hatred spewed about you

for the time  spent hovered over a toilet bowl

the days starved and deprived

I am sorry for it all

I am sorry I could not find the strength to love you

so instead I hurt you

I was so unhappy with the state you were in I broke you down 

rather than build you up

how could I have treated a ruined shack as a temple?

I regret the days 

I now see the stained glass in your eyes

and the sacred beauty in every curve 

to a body once so betrayed 

im sorry i didnt see it sooner.
