Words are the most powerful thing in the universe
They have the ability to both end and save a life
A raindrop that can bring about a hurricane
or a light that can guide you from the darkness
Never say something you do not truly mean
Words will stick in a person so deep
Stay there inside them like amber
Whether it is something horrible,
or absolutely beautiful,
a small compliment,
saying goodnight,
tearing apart their entire existence;
these things do not fade
So to do the feelings stay
A painful memory is never forgotten,
never fully healed
These are when the good memories are needed
To form around the bad and eradicate the sharp edges
Leaving behind the ache but removing the sting
Words, just as amber, are ever lasting

Oh innocence, what bliss you are.
I wish you could've stayed,
but it must have been too much to ask.
We're told we are too young,
to fall in love or know what we want.
I disregarded it all and met you.
As we talked and spent time together,
It wasn't too long before you had my heart.
I know I don't have much to give;
But I gave what I could.
I tried so hard to make you happy.
You finally said you loved me;
I felt the same as I told you.
I only wish I could detect lies better.
Maybe then I would have been saved,
From your "love"
