One Small Word

The day begins so bright and keen With hope for what’s to come Then one small word by someone close A knife it does it become It cuts the strings of peace and Joy That held the day’s bright hope You feel the flow of happiness Run down that sad steep slope The sharpest knife that cuts so deep That leaves you out of breath Is one small word that bleeds no blood While leaving heart felt death
