Don'T Speak Poem by Jodie Hardy

Time will not heal as it often does
Nothing can be salvaged from the ruins
All hope has left; it flew away with the words
The ones that shattered the lives of all who heard them
From these lips, poison words escaped
Now bitter memories are all that remain
Could I have the day again?
I'll keep tight lipped and hold in the pain!
Take deep breaths and count to 10
Don't make the same mistake again, again...
