Clumsy
Clumsy in my missteps
And clumsy with my words
Tripping over my own feet
And now tripping over yours
Clumsy with my quick words
And clumsy in my steps
My venom tongue will sting you
And can take away your breath
Never said I’m graceful
And now you know it’s true
Can I dare forgive myself
This dire crime of wounding you?
