Harsh Mean Words

Harsh Mean Words

Silver colors stream down her face
Prism colors making a race
What did he say to turn her face
Harsh, mean words without grace

Eyes of red that see only blur
Lashes sticking and cause her to stir
Wiping them with tissues and then a dab
Harsh, mean words have made her sad

Laughter no longer visits her cheeks
Thoughts of happiness left over weeks
To tired to fight, complain, or speak up
Harsh, mean words made her shut up

Pain throughout the body and the mind
Steps are slower and so is time
Desire to skip, take walks, or call a friend
Harsh, mean words have put them to an end

Silver colors stream down her face
Eyes of red that see only blur
Laughter no longer visits her cheeks
Pain throughout the body and the mind
Harsh, mean words have replaced life’s pace
