Words

It’s only words, they say
To take your heart away
But your words, sweetheart
They tear me apart

A harsh remark here
A rude comment there
An exasperated sigh
And then…indefinite silence

The love has somewhat retreated
Beneath these gashes of words
An empty void remains in my soul
Leaving a trail of blood

It’s only words I had
It’s only wounds I have…
