Words

It is short but i think it proves something. Words hurt worse than people intend

Ashamed they stand

Prowling the halls of the path laid out

Striking no man with a fist

Showing no aggression

Tortured with words so cold

The beaten sink into a place of no return

When that knife shreds their skin

ripping layers nobody intended.

Every heartless phrase pulls the blood out.

the meaning revealed,

but only to one person.

A burden carried on the heart.

Suffered on the skin,

hiding the battle wounds,

with a smile so forced.
