We’re gathered here today to put to rest the words I didn’t mean to say. The thoughts I tried my best to suppress, but slipped out anyway. Delivering meanings that I didn’t have planned, And messages she just can’t understand.
My acid tongue throws out its poisonous whispers into her ear, containing words she was never meant to hear. But she cancels them out with her alkaline replies that don’t align with mine. She’s the one who starts this game every time. Throwing in the truths that bring me shame, But when I claw out her flaws from beneath the dirt out onto the surface, They impregnate her hazel eyes with rain. And I’m always the one to get the blame.
I check the weather where she is to know if she can see the dark clouds leaving, Unveiling the blue skies that lie beneath. Hoping that one day she will open her hazel eyes and realise we’ve been through wet and dry seasons that continue to replay like groundhog day. But all we can do is keep believing that there is a reason why we can’t let the storms blow it all away, Just because of the words I didn’t mean to say.
