Didn’t Mean To Hurt

I caused the pain

Didn’t mean to hurt

But the effect remains the same

One way words said in haste

The love we once had

All laid to waste

 

Unthinking self

Crocodile tears

Sobbing your name

‘Till you wept for real

Exorcized ego

Triumphal self

Wins again

 

The passion of two

Goes up in flame

The ashes of love

Settle as heart-broken rain

Grey, cold and dying

Didn’t mean to hurt

But the effect was the same

Yh I know this poen. Ive managed to hide it behind schizophrenia maybe but I think your artistic sentiments are unfortunetly part of the process. Nice.

Nb:

With age it seems to be getting less.

The real deal.

Very heartfelt.

Thank God we can truly say 'sorry' to him, and sometimes to the one we've hurt, though the pain is still there for them and us. (and if we reflect, it does make us realise our weakness, our foolishness, and can give a knock to stupid pride!) Rhiannon
