Your
words
Sharp
as swords
Purposely
you say
Them
you do not weigh
Aiming
to derogate
For
unknown reasons, me you hate
Your
words
Sharp
as swords
They
shake me up
They
break me down
Constantly
on loop
In
my mind now they play
Your
words
Sharp
as swords
I
replay them again
And
rises inside a sharp pain
My
day is spoilt, and so is my mood
Inside
I sit and relentlessly brood
Your
words
Sharp
as swords
You
called me to meet
And
with your words, you mistreat
Didn’t
take you minutes at all
To
find within me unknown faults
Your
words
Sharp
as swords
Play,
replay
They
constantly go on
If
only
You
would have stopped
To
think and weigh
Your
words
Sharp
as swords
May
be it’s in your nature
To not nurture
But merely cause hurt
Your
words
Yes !
They were sharp as swords

Deletewe should use our language right coz we cant take it back.. still some people act harsh, only to hurt people. well expressed, Jyotsna.

DeleteBefore speaking anything, people should learn to feel the consequences of those words by considering themselves as the listener ... don't know why some people are so immature :/
ReplyDeleteWish people understood these simple things in life Amrit :(
DeletePeople never think twice before saying things that can hurt. The wounds inflicted by these words, never heal. Nice one, Jyotsna! :)
ReplyDeleteSo rightly said. Thanks dear :)
Deletespoken words once spoken can never be brought back and the effect they may have on others can be drastic sometimes.. no wonder our forefathers or elders always told us to speak carefully

Who remembers those age old wise sayings Bikram ?? All people want to do today is to pull others down :(
DeleteI know .. but then why bother about those people .. they dont deserve to be given a second thought..
Deletelet them forget ..
