The First Shrike - Unkind Words

Unkind Words

Meant not for her
no understanding than
to say most unstable

With holding from her husband
thinking me overly intelligent
abundantly so

Terrible actions such lack
of for sight did cause us

Things would differently be done
if this knowledge I could
of had

She thought I hated her
when to the extrema side
to that word never heard

Now she does hate me
for such doings
such hate I have never seen
except in the movies sociopath
psychopath

To mend such a thing
a scar on my heart
would so bare
just another trick
would she
so think of it
my sorrow she wont
bear
