I don’t know why I said what I did.

I wasn’t even thinking of how to cut you down.  What am I saying?

Your indifference fuels me, forces me to sputter.

Wound tight, like a brand-new rubber ball

bouncing my mouth off, my words hitting hard

Everything I said was true, but how I said it was wrong

A one-sided conversation hewed at with a rusty ax, I couldn’t explain myself

All night I waited to hear it fall,

Come morning it plays over and over again,

changing each time I replay it.

I want to clear-cut the whole forest

Make way for better things, if anything, sunlight.

I was going to apologize, but you needed to be cutdown.
