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
