Walking on Eggshells

I never know what to say to you 

Because a lot of the time

What I say

Is wrong

And you disapprove. 

I feel bad.  

Did I hurt you? 

Are you mad? 

How can I make it better? 

I'm sorry. 
I know I said too much. 

I never know what to say to you. 

I'm not like this usually

I promise. 

I'm always confident,

Eloquent,

Never at a loss for words. 

I was born to talk,

Weave stories with my words.

But you, 

I never know what to say to you.  

My sentences are broken

My words don't make sense. 

They are not the droids 

You are looking for. 

No matter what I say

It's never enough. 

Because with you,
No matter what I say,
I am always, always wrong.
