Thoughtless


sharper then a knife deadlier then the deepest wounds words they hurt ...when used improperly of course cutting to the innermost part of me im bleeding.... internally If anyone else said what you said to me I wouldn't even care But the fact that you use cheat codes to hurt me isn't even fair .. your apologies Provide little relief...a waste of air Can't you see why you should think Before you speak But out of anger you shot missals That caused my eyes to leak .... Flowing they will not stop even though I want them to misery loves company i guess you wanted me to share it with you And you won the war I give up I'm defenseless Victory short lived you realize your actions were senseless With out hesitation you utter a 7 letter phrase Hoping that what was said would be so easily erased...... That "I'm sorry" would make it all fade But those words are like covering up a bullet wound with a Bandaid. It doesn't work that way ...but I'm choosing to forgive My negative feelings for you will be short lived Even if your forgiven its hard to forget But if you pause && think you'll never have regrets If your emotions are winning its better to walk away Then to bruise someone you care about due to the words that you say Don't allow anger to consume and build within you Instead be encouraging in everything you say and do
