It's not the the many times you said "I wish you were never born" that did me in It was the thought, That if you could say those words as openly as you did what words lay hidden? |

Raph, I agree.. Too often words are said in anger and frustration that don't come form deep inside, but from the surface... Words can still be very hurtful, though, no matter where they come from. I know from living many years with a verbally abusive husband.  Sometimes the scars never heal completely. "Love makes the world go around" |

Thank you both for you thoughts. I hope they were surface but doubts will linger where they may. |

Aenimal, Usually the "I hate you" comes before that, from a very spiritually sick, unhappy person. It does hurt so much when others blame you for their unhappiness. Or, retaliate by hurting you because they precieve you hurt them. I am sorry if you are going through this. You have my sympathy and warmest regards. Hope it gets better soon. Hugs, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

it is always the unsaid that is the most cruel. What is openly said you at least know what is not said is what lies between the lines like a trap covered in fresh snow... waiting to hold you and let you freeze a slow death... hard words you write... but you express the moments of thought well... |

Perhaps the words that lay hidden are the kinder ones! Some people who are angry, and perhaps dissatisfied with themselves, lash out with angry words. Often it is more difficult for them to utter loving words because that can make that person feel more open and vulnerable. Please hold this thought, dear Raph! ~ Sending you oodles of angel hugs EA |

Words can be so beautiful, and so ugly--a painful write of words and the sad damage they can do. "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |

Thank you all for your thoughts but it was long ago, it just came up and I thought I should write about it instead of think about it. Kind thoughts and a special thank you to Earth Angel, very sweet words. raph |

Chilling thought, Raph... Never considered it that way, but it makes sense. -MVS "AS ABOVE SO BELOW" |

Too much truth within....Sadly so....I heard it once said that "In Wine Lies Truth" meaning that as one drinks....their tongue loosens and they say what they have hidden inside... Amazing how the ugly can come out and be so very painful.... I can only say that this poem has touched me...for I have been on both ends of this. |

Mark thanks for the reply chilling is a good word to describe that feeling.. Magnus thank you very much for sharing your experience and for admitting you've been on both sides. That takes alot of courage I hope time will heal those wounds sooner than later. raph |
