Holding you was difficult today

Watching the Netflix series “Keep Breathing.” It’s suspenseful and a bit slow…but this part…I acknowledge that I am hard to hold.

“Holding you was difficult today
You feel sharp and jagged
All shoulder blades and elbows
How I would love to round your edges
To make you smooth
In my rock tumbler heart”

Gosh…I feel that one.

This is beautiful. I went through a phase where people would tell me that hugging me was like hugging a cactus. It does take time and trust to allow someone in, to be vulnerable enough to allow the sharp edges to fade.
