Pain In Words

What are words called that cause
 Pain
Suffering 
Heartbreak 
Anguish

Words devoid of
 Passion
Love 
Romance 
Warmth

To become nothing
 Cold
Detaching 
Avoidance 
Silent

I am speechless in my thoughts
Dark in my darkness alone
I feel an emptiness in my soul
I am without breath

With one last gasp

Brandy Nicole November 21, 2020 at 11:58 AM When words circle the heart, it can leave you feeling so many emotions inside. "With one last gasp.. Love" And that is how it should be. This is beautiful and tender, all at the same time. ~ Brandy Paul Murray November 21, 2020 at 1:53 PM Thank you Brandy, I’m slow on words at the moment
