Words thrown so carelessly
Words that stab
and burn so vigorously
But you still deliver the jab
intended to only hurt for a while
But your words are a poison
Delivered with a smile
And a pain that begins to worsen
To bury itself into your soul
And live deep in your heart
Every happy thought it will spoil
Until everything feels empty and dead
You may appear fine
But there is a war being waged inside of your head
Why did such a small thing
Mean so much to me
When the person who said it feels not a sting
Why must I be the one to pay this fee
Such a small phrase
Barely a sentence
Will haunt me the rest of my days
And there is no repentance
That can make this pain go away
All this because of these words that you said
And now with me they will stay
I won’t be free until I am dead.
