words
sometimes cut like a sword
into my heart
stabbing at my thoughts
words
written in black on white
are permanent links
to thoughts inside my brain
words
with malicious intent
can be more hurtful
than a slap across my face
words
have a special way
of getting me in trouble
when i have too much to drink.
words
play with my heart
when you speak them
i melt
words
sometimes remind me of loss
or remind me of love
there was once love lost and now i am all alone
