Speaking only hurts,
When words are not heard.
When they fall on deaf ears,
What use is a word?
Speaking only hurts,…
When it’s misunderstood;
With words twisted by flight,…
Speaking,…tell me why I should?
For most see with their sight,
And move along with the air,
Without a care,…..
……Without a single care.

You recklessly drove through my life,
And crashed my heart to pieces.
One moment there,…the next, gone…
An effigy drawn,
On the permanent creases,
Of my soul.
You damaged those closest to you,
Then *clash* *crash* …faded away…
From wreckage…and carelessness…
And the bloody mess,
Of hearts run o’er on the way,
To your pride.
