Misunderstanding

02,February,2021 by

Your irritation, somehow gave me satisfaction
as I poked and prodded you
your fury intensified at my glee
happiness turned to disgust
a bitter taste on my tongue

our discomfort filled us with sorrow
and passion gave no joy
as the silence surrounded us
we watched each other with wary eyes
mistrust a sourness in the air

Sorry came from nowhere
lighting up that glint in your eyes
a smile started then
it tugged sharply at your lips
as you caught my playfulness

your laugh a melody in the air
eyes lit up with delight
your face glowing with happiness
at last, misunderstanding flown
clearing minds and freeing hearts
