The words that do the most damage

The words that do the most damage
are never the ones people meant to say.

I’ve sat across from people
who couldn’t explain what happened
in the argument.

Not because they forgot.
Because someone else showed up
when the emotion took over.

Someone meaner.
Someone who knew exactly where to hit.

They always regretted it after.

But the other person
was still holding those words
as if they were the truth.

What have you said in anger
that you’ve never been able to take back?
