Age 3 to age 14

Seems like we have done it all

Tears to tears

Of joy to sorrow

Are the memories

I shall forget not

Its funny how simple breaths

We take

And

Sounds we use to form words

Can be harmful enough to hurt someone

Forever

But when I see the photo galleries

Of us and the “has beens”

I cant help but think

That our demise

All came from

Words.
