Crying Out
Emotionally laced Words
Tumble on top of themselves
Fall
Jumbled
Spilling
Irresponsibly light
Meanings taken
Abruptly
Out of context
Misconstrued
Pushed from tongues
On top of unconcerned breath
Piled with disguised humorless jokes
Wrapped heavy in defensive tones
Harsh words map out us
Unintentionally traveling
Into troubled territory
Just to give life to your point
Disregarding the origin
Internal pistols
Cocked
Loaded
And slung verbally
With blatant disdain
Indirectly fired
On purpose
Masquerading as
Socially practiced laughter
Or awkward injected urges
So obviously
WE
Conveyor and Receiver
Disconnecting on contact
Imputing nothing
But scrambled misunderstanding
Never once
A pause to consider
The slightest possibility of agreement
Or like minded perception
Jaded at the thought
Anyone
Could possibly
Understand
You
Understand
The effect of unsolicited pain
Years
Of misguided decision making
And casualness
That nearly left casualties
Strongly reinforced insecurities
That are consciously and unconsciously
Revered
Practiced like religious doctrine
And the gospel is how much
the world
hurt
u
The testimonials of how
Ignored you were by everyone
Even tho u made no effort
To lift the shadows
To seek out
The objects of your desires
Yet u stand
BOLDLY
On soap boxes
Campaign on arguments
Of one sided conclusions
Unwilling to accept
Someone lending an ear
Someone willing to gather up
All that hurt
Cradle it like
Newborn
So delicate
Brand new fragile
And hold it
Nurturing it all
So you don’t have to
Unable to believe
It could ever be that another human being
Could extend so much
With no required return
No implied favor delivered with sugary coatings
It’s not possible that
I
Can
Be assaulted by
every misplaced word
Wounded to the bone
Could take my own feelings
Bulldoze them to the side
Ignore my bleeding heart
And
Still
Listen
To
U
End Point
