The Power of Words

Words like darts in the heat of the moment Can tattoo the skin you're in Once expressed, you have to own it You can't scribble them out with a pen It could be anger or panic induced But the consistency, just as thick A shameful pain, you introduced more weight than a stone or stick You can express your regret a thousand times But a difference, it will not yield Honesty came out, you crossed the line Your lips, you should have sealed Now there lives a permanent wedge Between two kindred spirits A powerful relationship tempting a ledge The awkwardness, you can hear it Tip toeing on eggshells becomes the norm Both parties are now at fault One created this vicious storm The other's pride has gotten caught
