I thought I knew what I was saying.
Like I could feel my words
Falling into your lap.
And everything I’d think
Or say to you
Would tell you
How I really feel.
But when my thoughts
Became words
To leave me
Somehow they left
You as an enemy.
I only said what
Was inside of me
And you denied it
And said
My words
Lie to me.
My emotions
Were never present
When I spoke
And still
Whatever I was saying
Found you
To leave you wounded
And bruised
And naked.
And my thoughts
Feeling mistaken
Broke and left me
Like I knew what I was saying.
