I was
trying
to understand
what
was
wrong
with
Me.

/itdidn'tmakesense/

I
heard
every
word
you
said.
Every.     Word.

I heard every word you said
            every word you said
            every word you said
I hated
            every word you ever said to me.

And I TRIED -
I tried to blame it on myself.
I tried to see through
                                  Your eyes.

(but do you know what i've discovered?)

you've never known me,
even though you think you do.
you've never understood,
even though you tell me that it's
            sosimple.

You
are my pain and anger.
You
are my loss and fear.
You create them
                  nuture them
                              expect them.

I don't know what it is about you that poisons everything I touch.

You
are
my

                                         only

mistake.
