Whether You Meant To Or Not

by Leni - Gemini

Whether you were writing to me or not
I still felt touched
That you were thinking of me
Like you were speaking to me.
Whether you meant to or not
You made me feel loved.

Whether those words were directed at me or not
They hurt much like the needle piercing my chest.
Even if it was not me you were thinking of directly
It was painful no less
Because when you insult just a part of me
The rest of me weeps

Whether your kindness was just for me or not
I was still special in my eyes
If not yours.
You gave me hope and a little self-worth
A love for myself
That had been lost in the rumble.

Whether the fists you threw were aimed at me or not
I was still hit and it still hurt.
Eventhough I maybe just a figure for the symbol
A blind blow hurts no less 

We affect each other
Whether we meant to or not.

Reason for writing:

    This has two "inspirations": everyday interactions with people, and the poems that I read on here.
