Louder Than I Thought

Emotions Can Rise When You Love Someone

By Mike OwczarekPublished about a month ago 1 min read

I did not mean to yell.

There was something on my mind.

Couldn't you tell?

I did NOT mean to yell.

My love at times can be blind.

Am I under a spell?

I DID NOT mean to yell.

Truly, we can be more kind.

This isn't a hard sell.

I DID NOT mean to YELL.

Attention, I wanted to find.

Yet, for this, I fell.

I DID NOT MEAN TO YELL!

Oh, we are in a bind,

and I am coming out of my shell.

I did not mean to yell.

Can we just put it behind?

This, you yell.

This, I yell.
