Words that hurt.
Words that heal.
Words you said
that were never real.

Words not worth
not even a reply.
Words that make
you want to die.

Words that hold
a hidden meaning.
Words so bad,
not worth repeating.

Words that scar
and torture the soul.
Words unsaid
that make you feel whole.

Words that encourage
you to succeed.
Words that make
you disbelieve.

Words of secret,
not to be told.
Words of anger
that make you old.

Words that help us
to express.
Words that cause
such loneliness.

Words that mean
not a damn thing.
Words you speak
when no one’s listening.

Words of hope
that go unspoke,
it's on these words
that we choke.

Words we use
to write a poem,
to show the world
we’re all alone.
