Words

Such words
Between two people who loved each other
Used to wound the spirit
No thought of the devastation
The pain every word causes
Some wounds fade with time
Others lie festering
Rotting the roots the love once created
There is no cure
No miracle words to seal the wounds
The words ‘I’m sorry” become meaningless
The relationship born in love
Nurtured by feelings of the heart
Simply dies

Dear Robert, Your poems truly sadden my heart yet in a very beautiful touching way because somehow I can feel your essence in each poem. Keep up the great writing.
