do you mean it

do you mean it

words . . .

they are so easy to express

but ask your self

before you speak

do you mean it

i love you

i hate you

do you truly mean it

have you seen it

in the spirit

as you express it

and how it

affects you

and others about you

do you mean it

i am not aware of

that the same heart that loves

can hate

wait

oopppss to late

i said it already

i expressed something

that was not meant to be

you see

we must examine our words

and ask your self

again and again

do you mean it

before you open your mouth

and express it

do you mean it

words expressed is an action

that makes an impaction

to a fraction of the whole

and therefore the whole

has a hole

to accept

what has been spoken

as a token

of who you are

do you mean it

a wound given to others

can not be taken back

with mere apologies

and a psychology

of being sorry

sorry, i am still hurt

one may say

because of what you said

still resides in my memory

my head

did you mean it

do you still

what ill will or errant wind

did that thought begin in

that you would

say such a thing

did you mean it

be mindful of what proceeds

indeed

from thy mouth

for it is not what goes in

that defiles you

it is what you expectorate

and once that is done

it is too late

to take it back

the callous attack

of your words

so in the end

you can not defend

what you spoke to the world

your self

your God

for all energies are seen

so again ask your self

did you mean it

do you mean it
