again
defend them again
push against your        discomfort

they
them

words of respect          the very least

i've lost

family//over the way they love me//
the way you don't love//without reiterating brokenness
their's
even your own//though you still know     better       

i defend        them       again
you reiterate
brokenness//i don't see//
see the whole in front of you//you can't account for

they
them

i've lost family//
over the way they love me//
but they love
