The Sweetest Words

The sweetest words

Love is a sweet word
       but there are  some that are sweeter
There are some words we need to hear
      ‘I love you’ some crave for, 
But not for me in, not a million years
There are some words that can hurt
     others that can heal
Some words cause us harm
    Some words we physically feel
 Four letter words can cause us shame
      Others cause embarrassment
Harsh words heard - who is to blame?
Soothing words written, a subtle message sent.
 The sweetest words I ever heard
Were not of love they were just a question 
The simple words meant more to me than any possession
Are from the one I thought I lost
 Asking me  ‘Are you an angel?
