Heavy Words

Stop dropping your words
on me like blocks.
They fall on the ground
with such force
that I have to wonder
if I’ll be able to survive
the next conversation we have.

Well penned. I lived through years of verbal abuse and it does kill your soul slowly.

Have you ever talked to someone and felt like you were being attacked with words made of bricks? Sometimes that's how our words come across to others. Feel the power of this piece. Remember to talk responsibly.
