Words In a Fist

Your words hurt more then ice cold fists

I don't see how you could have missed

Your words of spite, I know not against me

You take it on on the ones you love

Like a boxer with a barbwire glove

The words you use hurt more then ever 

I can't see why you want us together 

Maybe one day you could see

I'm not good enough for you, and your words outmatch me

It hurts my heart and breaks my soul

If only someday you'd believe what I had told

I loved you the day I say your face

And I will till I am forgotten and old

Though the words you hit me with

I know I am a dolt

The words you throw in my face feels like a lightning bolt

Your words will do as much as they feel

I know the way you treat me

Is undirected, because I feel your empathy 

When you throw the final punch

Aim for my heart, and try to forgive me
