Forever In Your Heart

Your words are paper thin,
no weight do they carry,
within my darkened mind,
thoughts do toil and tarry,

Once they contained value,
how I lingered upon every one,
waiting to feel their warmth,
as morning greets the sun,

Now my ears do ache,
upon hearing your words,
like the highest pitch of sound,
my silence is disturbed,

Ringing, clinging, singing,
a song sung out of key,
I wish I was death, I am,
death becomes me,

Your words are stones,
arrows, bending, breaking me,
discecting me, rapeing me,
tearing my flesh from bone,

As I stand here,
why sould I listen?
why would one torture ones self?
over and over, logic is missing,

Silence is golden,
I long for the days,
to hear not one word spoken,
to harm or to hurt,

The day when words once again,
have value and meaning,
without lies, deception,
or schemeing,

Then will my heart listen,
the warm sun will glisten,
but your words,the sound of your voice,
I won't be missing,

Thanks Dixie...sometimes I would rather have a fist pop me one upon my cheek than to be criticized , cursed at, or put down...

Love and hugs

Romantic,

"Now my ears do ache,
upon hearing your words,
like the highest pitch of sound,
my silence is disturbed,"

Upon hearing this I just wanted to lift my hand and say, "Talk to the hand!"

I really enjoyed this.  Thanks for sharing.
