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
