Of Course

I wasn't yelling at myself

By BrenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

course i meant to scream and yell

i meant everything i said

sorry if you don’t like my ‘tone

but some things have to be said

course i meant to fuckin say

everything i fuckin said

and yes i had to say it twice

to get it through your fuckin head

of course i meant to say those words

that get you so upset

and i meant every single fucking syllable

just so you don’t forget

of course i meant to hurt you

i always aim for the heart

but you just couldn’t leave it alone

you had to fuckin start

course i meant to be obtuse

indifferent and unkind

it’s the only defense to the little games

you play out in my mind

    There's gotta be a way to jam over the internet.

  • Your thoughts are ringing with annoyance, and this reads so well. I relate so much, just after the cusps of an argument. Well done, and good luck. X
