Words Like a Drum

I’ve got a friend who has

Words like a drum,

Words like a drum,

Words like a drum.

 

You’ll feel it pass through you

With a heart-beating thrum,

Raindrops’ pitter patter echo

All she has done.

 

I’ve got a friend who has

Words that come down,

Heavy like leaden-footed

Giants abound.

 

She’ll take your breath away

And you’ll feel it in your bones,

It shakes down the mountains

Wherever she goes.

 

I’ve got a friend whose words

Land like a punch.

Staccato but it always hurts

Far too much.

 

She fights every battle

Like it’ll make her enough

For words filled with love

While hers are cold to the touch.
