She said "words can really hurt, and hers cut deeper than anyones"
and I looked at her;
hair falling out of its braid,
sad slanted eyes,

and I thought to myself
now that was beautiful.

---------

I wanted to hug her,
tell her not to stop driving
until we saw a sunset.
But I looked a her
and gave a soft smile,
because she didn't even know
what she did.

That's the thing with words,
they can really hurt.
But they can really heal, too.
