Things One Said and Done

The words they say pound into my brain
Both becoming one
The memories of things
Once said and done
All come rushing back

She comes back to the world
People laughing and talking
As she sits alone
Staring at the window 
The world goes rushing by

She remembers the things
Once said and done
As the tears stream down her face
She sat looking into the night sky
Wondering why her?

What did she do
To deserve the things
once said and done
she remembered
sticks and stones may break my bones 
but words shall not hurt me


Broken bones will always heal
but the memories of the hurtful words
will stay forever
Perhaps it may get better
Over time
But the scar of things
Once said and done
Will never fade away
