Words
Words once spoken
Can't be broken
Too late you find the damage done
Either uplifting
Or unforgiving
Words are best spoken in love
Can't take them back
Once they've left your lips
From the tongue speaks the heart
Rue the day
They've had their say
Truthfully in who you are
Best be thinking
Before speaking
Avoiding pain from what's been heard
Horses take bits
Rudders turn ships
Be careful how you steer your words
