I don’t know why I said what I did.<\/p>\n
I wasn’t even thinking of how to cut you down.\u00a0 What am I saying?<\/p>\n
Your indifference fuels me, forces me to sputter.<\/p>\n
Wound tight, like a brand-new rubber ball<\/p>\n
bouncing my mouth off, my words hitting hard<\/p>\n
Everything I said was true, but how I said it was wrong<\/p>\n
A one-sided conversation hewed at with a rusty ax, I couldn’t explain myself<\/p>\n
All night I waited to hear it fall,<\/p>\n
Come morning it plays over and over again,<\/p>\n
changing each time I replay it.<\/p>\n
I want to clear-cut the whole forest<\/p>\n
Make way for better things, if anything, sunlight.<\/p>\n
I was going to apologize, but you needed to be cutdown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
