A Misunderstanding

Some words said
Much more heard
...miles apart...
What was meant to be said
What was actually heard
Were tainted & emotions apart
What one heart said
What another heart heard
Were shouts apart
Were screams apart

Both clueless
Both speachless
 Both move away
From one another

Actions erupt from anger
Words drenched with sadness

The longest distance 
Unfathomable depths
Between hearts
_- a misunderstanding-

Some words said
Much more heard
..miles apart...

Beautiful poem. Indeed it is true. Words are often misunderstood. A misunderstanding can create a terrible conflict.
