Big Mouth

I hear myself speak and

ask why did I say that?

Here we are just sitting

having an innocent chat,

but I had to open my

mouth and drag up the past

and I see by your face

that you are aghast.

Me and my big mouth

has struck again

without warning but as

predictable as the rain.

It is like my mouth

doesn’t know what

my brain is thinking

until it’s too late and another

friendship is sinking.

I will be left without

any friends to talk to

all because of the nonsense I spew.
