Words

Words are how people communicate. Words show what we want; what we need. Words are the most important of tools. Words are the most beautiful of gifts. Words are the most powerful of weapons. Words can destroy or build up. Words can hurt, or they can heal. Words can hold sadness, anger, or happiness. Words are free to give and to use. So why then, when it was most important, did you refuse me the gift of words? All I wanted; all I needed were your words. But even words, free to give, were too high a price to you. Instead, you freely gave heartache. You became seemingly incapable of communicating. And, in the end, it was all for nothing.
