TESTING YOU

For everyone near and dear to me

When I wish to TEST someone
I tend to hurt with my words.

If you know me, you know well,
Hurting you makes my heart swell.

Some words just come out my mouth
While my heart throws a silent shout.

“I don’t mean it” my heart go
Dear ones don’t mind as they know.

Every time I curse at you
My eyes well up, crazy, but true.

Every time I shout at you
Bad dreams chase me, sad but true.

If you want the real me
My heart’s all you need to see.
