Who could have thought
Who could have known,
Those simple little words
Could do so much harm,
Ate away at her
Like worms in an apple core,
The thoughts crumbling
Away in her mind,
Until no thought was left,
Other than to walk away,
Walk away is all she did
Not a word, not a note
Not one intent to hesitate,
How could I expect
Anything more,
Those little words
Cannot be unsaid
Cannot be unheard,
A seal on her heart
Broken,
Can't be put back together
If she won't give me a chance,
No thoughts are left
For me or of me,
But mine linger magnetic
And will forever haunt me...
