Thorny Poetry - 25. The Second Guess

i write the word and

scratch it out

hit backspace

start again

 

three times, four times

begin the message anew and then

scrap it

not worth it

 

go back and edit

doesn’t read right

that wasn’t what i meant

but it’s there, in black and white and

cannot truly be unsaid

 

did they read it yet?

 

so many words unspoken

so many messages unsent

worried i’ll say the wrong thing

be misunderstood

offend

 

i write the words

hit backspace again

what happens

if i press send?
