The Ups and Downs
I smile at him, because when he cries, I know it makes him feel better.
Sometimes I think to myself..what makes him distant from me?
But if I try to question it, he shuts down and doesn’t speak.
I don’t understand why this happens but whenever it does he yells and cries that he hates me so I just leave it alone.
If I yell back, he leaves, or even worse he loses control of his temper.
That has only happened twice, I’ll admit I cried.
But when he controls himself and smiles back, I know why I stay around.
