Lunatic

Have you ever
Made a casual remark
That cut someone deeply?

I just did! I regret it.
She says it's no big deal,
But it is. It surely is
It sorely is. It always is.

Image and self loathing
Are subjects i know
Too well. Having lived
My own private hell

I know so many words
That can uplift
And yet I joked and teased
Unwanted gift

tender soul she shares with me
So quietly and tenderly
I treated her so thoughtlessly
Not the man I want to be

The sorry and the sorrow
Will both be gone tomorrow
