What Was Meant
Why do you say what you said,
When you did not mean it that way?
Was it to the listener’s heart you pled,
Or were you running from past mishaps that stay?
Words once spoken cannot retreat,
Though intentions may have been sincere.
A careless phrase can bring defeat,
Or awaken an old forgotten fear.
Perhaps the burden of yesterday’s pain
Cast shadows upon what you wished to convey.
Leaving thoughts entangled in a chain,
And turning clear skies suddenly gray.
So choose your words with mindful grace,
And let honesty guide what you impart.
For meaning is more than a spoken phrase—
It is the bridge that reaches another heart.
