Words

Lovely words, wonderful words
Seductive words, mysterious words
Happy, cheerful words
Like tiny, singing birds
Melancholy, depressing words
Like sad-eyed deers in herds
They can comfort, they can hurt
But they are incapable of truly revealing
Your feeling, my feeling
Because the limit between truth and lies is so blurred
And obscured

Words are indeed powerful tools that unfortunately in certain hands become weapons. In your hands they are instruments of healing. Well written and impactful piece.
