The
 Wrong
 Message
 Sent

I
 was
 supposed
 to
 smile
 and
 clap

cheer
 for
 you
 through
 the
 bad

but
 I
 ignored
 all
 that

and
 turned
 the
 wrong

shoulder.

The
 cold
 one.

One
 too
 tall

for
 you
 to

hold
 on
 to.

Too
 far
 to
 reach,

and
 moving
 out
 of
 sight.

I
 did
 not
 mean

to
 make
 you
 cry.
