Bitter Words

Tossed in the air,
the words hung tough,
they would not budge,
as if set by unseen forces,
the forces that did not want,
them to climb down,
and reach ears,
he who had spoken,
was stunned,
he was still unheard of,
hours after being spoken,
speaker sought mercy,
that let continuation be heard,
that he was restrained,
but forces that be,
did not yield,
they had a fair game at hand,
their job was to hold and restrain,
they did just that,
did not allow words,
that were bitter,
and could have hurt,
and shot them flat.
