Words Poem by Witch Baby

The words tumble out
Not meant to be spoken
Three words alone among the rest
Saying them can make you
Or break you
Sometimes you don’t say them at all
And they still hurt

Words
A powerful weapon
Like poison
Infecting my soul
Just one
Has two meanings
When said to different people

Letters become words
Words become sentences
Until I have nothing left
But a sad song
And if I could take them back
I would
But I can’t hide the truth
