Watch What You Say

your words were sharp and filled with hate

they cling to me and seal your fate

a broken saddened heart youve bled

and left an empty space instead

we often say the things we feel

which leaves the wounds that life won't heal

as a song remembered in lyrics fed

the saddest part replays instead

over and over the words flow through

like a darkened mask they cover you

loves gifts once opened so bright and new

need only two lovers to keep in view

alas there are some who will never believe

the beauty within only love may conceive...
