They lied to me when they said that sticks and stones break bones but words don't hurt
I found that your words have branched and rooted within every splinter in my bones and the ache is nagging and constant
It's the guilt your words caused that weigh like boulders on my shoulders and every step causes a new fracture
Sticks and stones don't break bones but the weight of your words have crushed me
