Projecting, Interpreting

 You did not see me,

While you were reading my words

You saw the caricature, 

That you have built up of me

Cloaked in the projections of your own mind-set.

Onto whatever I said/wrote

You put tone to my words

Nuanced my phrases

Restructured my punctuation

Assigned intentions

..... According to your perceptions

In short, you projected your interpretations onto my words

And so you missed out, 

On the beauty of my mind 

Its unique approach to issues, 

The careful and precise usage

Of language to communicate a thought. 

 ... And as a result, communication failed and we both lost.
