One Word

One word
                                 Coming from you
                      Can pierce right through my heart
                      Sending poison through me like a 
                                        Stingray

Brenda sometimes words can hurt more than getting physically attacked. They stay in your heart and mind forever. Thank you for the great comment on my Summer Sleeps poem.
