Poem: Misunderstanding

With everything I said and did,

you misunderstood me

to the point of blaming me

for all of your hardships

and things which you had control.

Over the years I’ve gone back

in my mind of how we evolved

and split apart for good

once it was clear you were a liar

to keep the myth going.

Over countless nights of feeling numb

with the ridiculous thought this punishment  

might count to right the wrongs,

when all has been said and done

we were both wrong

but only one of us knew it.

With everything I didn’t say and do,

I understood the impact you had

to the point of aversion

and things not going your way were recognized,

and was called consequence.
