To Speak Those Words

Ill angered words spoken harshly
Icy glares that can freeze your soul
Things that you can never take back
Words that linger in the air
Hatred with sobbing cries of attention
Cries of attention
Pleas of help 
Begging for mercy
For another life and another chance
A song of hope
A song of love 
A song of a desperate soul
To say what you're feeling
But never getting what you mean out
Shouting the words of your heart
Yelling the words of your hatred
Whispering the words of your soul
What to really say? Who to say it to:
The closest friend,The worst enemy
The one you love, The one you loath
The one you pity, The one you envy?
Who do you utter the words,
That come from your very soul
