"misstated" poems
each accusation
rolled from you
upon silver tongue
but still you waited
breath bated
for me to lay down
my defense
past perfect tense
standing still I
waited
and the silence
grated
which I truly
hated
the meaning became
overrated
my feelings became
desecrated
your fallen look was
belated
as my spirit
deflated
your cruel words were
*misstated, predated
translated and unrated*
and duly marked as
unrelated
as I calmly
waited
for you to ask me
one more time

I'm misstated,
Dictated,
Unappreciated,
Understated,
The last pick,
Life's giving me a kick,
Have to pick myself up,
From this,
Unelevated-ness.
