I never knew
How harsh words
Could be.
Never knew
What sword hid
Behind them.
I never knew
You could feel
This way.
I guess
I know you not.
The wounds you make
To my mortality
Hurt not
My physical being.
The wounds you make
Within my soul
Are embeded
And pain sears
My heart.
Your bladed tongue
Lashes out at me.
You turn away
As the words create
Their own silence.
I am blind.
You are deaf.
There is nothing left
To say.

Great job on this one...I think this is the 1st I have read of yours and I liked it very much...Not many people realize they are hurting someones feelings until they are done doing it...We have all done it...Thats just the way we were created to judge the rest...Keep up the good work!!!

Ooh i know this one all to well
I'm sure every child heard this one...
"if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all."
Don't you wish people actually listend to their parents?
i know i do.
Words are sharper then any blade of a sword,
and they cut deeper as well.
always remember words always come back to haunt you!

Ooh great work! I really like the last ending thoughts, I am blind, you are deaf. Really, really neat.
You did a fine job on this poem.

You have so many different emotions that you convey in one poem. A true showing of talent. I loved the read, keep it up and keep sharing.

I think this is one of the best poems that I've ever read. It's written perfectly and sends a great message. I'm glad I found it because it appies to my life as of late. One of my friends decided to "get everything off her chest" as she put it, and it hurt me like nothing else could. Thanks for the great poem that I can send to her, to let her know how much she hurt me. Keep up the great work!!
