I know you don’t mean it but it surprises me.

I know you don’t mean it but it saddens me.

I know you don’t mean it but it makes me want to scream,

I know you don’t mean it but it hurts.

I know you don’t mean it but it scares me.

I know you don’t mean it but I hate it.

I know you don’t mean to pinch me. I know you don’t mean to scratch me. I know you don’t mean to bite me.

I know you don’t mean to bite yourself.

I know you don’t mean to cause any of this pain but I wish I knew why.

Why does your body get so silly that you can’t help but pinch the closest thing to you?

Why does your body get so out of control that you can’t help but scratch,?

Why does your body get so frustrated that you can’t help but bite not only me but yourself so hard that it leaves bruises of the teeth marks?

I don’t know why this happens but I know you don’t mean it.

But what I do know for sure is that no matter what I love you and always will.
