What To Say

Why do I keep hurting the people I love?
It occurs naturally, like breathing.
One word enough to cause an injury.
Everyone keeps telling me
To think before I say.
Easy for you to say!
I don't even think of double-cross;ing
When I say something,
I'm just not wired that way.
And yet they see hidden jabs
When in fact there are none.
I may say I'm sorry
If it helps things,
But in truth there is nothing to be sorry for.
These second meanings are
Twisted by those who want to twist them,
Not me.
I'm sorry you hurt,
But you are the one who hurt yourself -
Twice.
I can only empathize
For I did nothing wrong.
I am not the guilty party,
Blame your conscience instead.
Or better yet, stop blaming everyone,
Even yourself.
Especially yourself.
;Not everything we do can we be proud of.
That's life, and you have to get over it.
Not everyone is here to judge you.
That's what friends are for, and you need to feel that.
Not everything I say has a double meaning.
That's an understatement, and you must know that.
;There is one song I heard just a week ago.
It goes something like this:
'Nothing you confess will make me love you less,
I'll stand by you...' Got it?
