the never was
By freudian-slip
Mistakes multiplied exponentially
in our attempt at communication...
more rapid than the blink of our eyes
not exactly
unrecognized
but often
so immediate
they almost go
unnoticed
until the pain
radiates
into the next day
when anger and hate
hold hands and skip down the sidewalk
like the best of friends
damage sinking in
not quite fast enough to hold up a stop sign
and I'm once again reminded of
all the reasons why
we never began

You sound like someone I know....and something that was felt; and clearly has been felt by you. Well written.
