She Almost Said It


She almost sent it, But then thought against it, Thought against the pain she almost caused, But she wished you hadn't said it either, She was at war, You caused her pain, Shouldn't you feel it too? But then again, no one should ever feel this pain, So she never sent it, Because she remembered the pain you caused, The feeling she felt that day, The feeling where she had established it was her against the world, The feeling when she realized she was all alone. Her finger hovered over the button, She wanted to send it, Make you realize the pain, But she couldn't, And while you'd call that her biggest weakness, Many would call it her biggest strength
