Those Words

Those Words Those words so piercing and moving They crawled into your heart and mind Brought back days sad and loving Befuddled your present, time so unkind Those words stayed in you like stimulants You sat there immobilized, vanquished Finally when sanity returned Past become past, present no longer cherish Those words spoken can be unkind Those words spoken can be lies Just tell me you will be fine Seeing unspoken words in your eyes Oh, those words I should have said They got stuck in my heart Oh, my reticence left you mad And slowly we drifted apart Those words you long to hear Words of consciousness and mind Believe in trust and you will see clear Lasting trust like trust of mine Those words can eat you up Make you lost in your heart In time you will find what it is like Those words bring empty days and nights Jit H.
