Sticks and Stones
Oh words how you betray me,
What hateful things you say,
was there call to be so blunt?
Was their not another way?
How softly you fell from there lips
But with a deadly aim,
Oh words how we distort you
To heighten others Pain,
Oh words how you do penetrate,
how cruel and how unfair
to find your way into my heart
and create a Poison there,
You should never have said that!
you cant take it back,
The nouns and vowels still ringing in my ear,
You should never have said that!
You have made yourself to me
unclear,
Oh words how we mistreat you
To fill you with such spite
To throw you like missiles
To spit you out in fight
You should never have said that!
I should never have heard
If you've nothing kind to say
Please,
not another word.
