Vibrating abrasion,
words reaching so deep
the pain quakes within
feeling every syllable
tear the heart apart,
abusing delicate relations
within a few seconds,
never to be recovered
throughout life.

Saline tears
pitting facial expressions
wrinkling emotions
endless memories,
ghostly shadows
building with every attack
until the dam bursts
letting the demon inside loose
to separate two forever.

What was, will now never be
feelings felt, destroyed
within a few sad moments
of insensitivity and insanity
a few words said too quickly
never to be destroyed
by a mountain of good
loving each other
from those special times.

The past evaporating into hate
claiming another victim
no magic can erase
the words done in haste
still echoing within
attacking the foundation
love, lost forever, never
to be recovered by eternity.

If these words should silence you,
thinking about mirroring
those words inside you first,
finding them so acidic, upsetting,
that they must come out,
go into seclusion, yell them out
in protected isolation.
Then if you realize you still care
go back and hug what is still there
rebuilding the beauty of two
getting along in companionship
of God’s blessing a poet’s words.
