Crushing Blow

The deterioration in his face it was like a withered rose in winter What she said to him felt like a shard of metal go through his heart The harsh words of thee could tare down any soul but they're people out there who do not understand the crushing words the put into hand How could people be so mean and the hurt this poor wonderer constantly feels he try's not to show the unmerciful hurt But I can see right through it because I am the hurt

Hi. Clever write and well used words. The use of terms from a slightly older time adds feeling to this excellent work. Eamon
