Misunderstood

Soft voices on the wind Barely heard through the din Promises whispered on shivering skin Causing the mind to spin Can’t erase this silly grin? Chasing butterflies down the path Jagged stones in the grass Cutting deep like broken glass Blood seeping out so fast How long can this last? There in the shadowed woods By a stream she stood Not knowing if I should Offered solace because I could Took a chance; was misunderstood Tiptoeing from stone to stone Can’t suppress an anguished groan Emotions crushed like fragile bone Realizing now I’m all alone This pain should stay unknown Thought we came to play You decided to leave anyway. I wanted you to stay What else can I say? It was a crazy day.
