A Moment of Clarity

He had already said it as those words came from deep down inside Knowing just how hard they would hit in it all being about his pride And quickly he had much regret in realizing what such words will do Those words have now been set yet knowing that they aren't true And as he then took a deep sigh the words themselves suddenly froze As in the air his words would lie as the anger from within them glows There, just before her attentive ear as she just stands frozen in space And one thing now became very clear as this was an act of God's Grace He quickly batted all those words away smashing them against the floor Never would she hear the words he would say for they were no more Then just like that life would resume as she waited for him to respond With that, his heart now had room knowing how important is that bond But that isn't how it goes as what has been said can never be taken back And afterward everyone knows such self restraint that they so often lack Better off to just walk away at least until your own anger can dissipate Because you can't retrieve the words you say in forever carrying weight
