Words Won't Go Away

A free verse poem telling what words are capable of doing.

words won't go away
for they shall be forgiven
but never will be forgotten

words won't go away
knives they are repeatedly
being stabbed in our wounds

words won't go away
the simplest can be graven in your heart
and one word can simply destroy your life

words won't go away
for they are slowly etched in your heart
planning to stay there forever

words won't go away
your dreams that were once pleasant
could become haunted

words won't go away
they'll stay with you
no matter where you hide
