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
