“Write to heal”

Writing it all down

Trying to remember what went wrong

In the heat of the moment

In the loss of words

What I could have said

What I really meant

How I said

The moment lost

I write it down

For tomorrow I might remember

To watch my tone

Caress the situation

With calm and even tone

I might do better

Listening carefully

Reacting less

I write it down

To forgive myself.
