Words come out unintended
A flash of unfeeling feeling,
The damage it caused in a night
A space gone hollow on the bedside.
Words come out unintended
An act of love turned down,
The affection it sought to give
Was not the one it brought on.
Words came out unintended
A bed turned into a warzone,
No other space in an otherwise empty house
For two warriors to lay their guns down.
Words came out unintended
No sniper could make such clean shots,
Silhouettes in an eerie darkness
So close, misunderstood, and let down.
