Words.
Only words.
But oh how they sting.
They rip you,
They tear you,
They make your ears ring.
With pain and silence
You fight back the tears
That are longing to fall
From what has just pierced your ears.
Your insides,
They burn.
And your confidence,
It hides.
In comes a new feeling,
Despair now resides.
Your heart starts to ache
With each breath you take.
Your voice disappears,
Your hands violently shake.
It's then that you realize,
You're starting to break.
You clench your fists
And you close your eyes
Trying to resist
Trying to hold your disguise,
This is futile,
The pain always wins
And you drop to your knees
As the crying begins.
The tears finally drop
And the darkness prevails.
All your attempts have crashed and failed.
Your weakness is revealed
Only encouraging the attacker
Whose words cant be healed
They'll leave you broken.
Even after.
The words left a mark,
A scar that digs deep.
Forever and ever will you remember this defeat.
Words.
Only words.
But look what they do,
They cause pain and heartbreak
With eternal scars feeling fresh and new.

- Title: Words
- Artist: rosebuds17
- Description: This poem is all about how truly hurtful words can be. I remember as a child we were taught the saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." Well, that saying is a total lie. Bones can mend when broken but the pain you feel in your heart from horrible words that were said to you never goes away. Even the strongest of us have had things said to us that still hurt us to remember; even the strongest are weak sometimes all because of words, only words.
