My Heart's Still Sore

Your words are like red iron pokers, Poking my heart ‘til I learn. Though the argument was yesterday, My heart still feels the burn. The blow you give with your words, Fills my heart with gore. Though the argument was yesterday, Today my heart’s still sore.

Yes... words can hurt more than any weapon. Whoever said "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" LIED! :/ I felt the hurt in this, and you expressed it very eloquently... so sorry for the pain you felt. I hope things are better soon. :) Love, Amy

Our tongues can cut deeper than any knife, and often leave wounds that never heal, that is why we need to keep them sheathed, Blessings, Ron

Words are the most painful weapon one can use, even after forgiveness the memory stays. Laurie
