Mean

I meant everything

I said

Anger fueled my words

Hurt fed my feelings

Perhaps there was

A better way to express

My feelings

Being misunderstood

But understanding everything

The pain I experience

When I choose

To direct venomous words

At you is almost unbearable

I kill myself every time

My words can be the sharpest knife

Threatening to cut you deeply

Aimed straight for the heart

I misjudge my aim every time

Piercing my own heart instead

You’ll never really know

How desperately

I want to be understood

By you

Reality is you never will

Refusal of the mind

Adopting a selfish mindset

After the event

Feeling so guilty for

Damaging something beautiful

Completely killing the “one”

Perhaps disassociating yourself

Is the softer approach

You never could stand

Being uncomfortable

The fact remains the same

I meant what

I said
