Boundaries

I understand your frustration

I know this came across as rude

But what you did cracked my foundation

I saw the past within each gap

You ran your finger over my scars

Reminding me of their existence

While simultaneously promising stars

My boundaries are without structure

But I am strong enough now

I learned this behavior, abuse is my teacher

Please be patient and kind with my layers

Each one represents a pain from my history

And I may finally heal enough to find my closures.
