The Sting Of The Thorn |

The Sting Of The Thorn Words without remorse pierce and shame Self control lost, only the sting remains Two vicious voices, who is to blame When one’s foolish pride goes insane Words wickedly wounding, stuck in one’s head When we don’t think before we say Scorned self-esteem, from what should never have been said If I lost your friendship, forever would I pay Take it all back, I would if I could Replace the pages of time I trifled and torn I apologize now, I know that I should I never meant to prick you with the sting of the thorn Marina Feb 21/2000 [This message has been edited by Marina (edited 02-22-2000).] |

Marina, This is a very good poem, it really is the truth and is exactly how reality is. Rhonda T |

Marina, I really loved this one, its all too familiar believe me. Can relate on both sides, I've done a few stingings to regret. Parker |

James: Everyone has at some point in time...It's only human nature. What's important is that we learn from them and to let that person know your true feelings for them. Someone told me emotions make good poems.... Marina [This message has been edited by Marina (edited 02-22-2000).] |

Yes, there is an excellent message. Hopefully, some will heed it. Regret for badly spoken words is not a nice feeling. Very well written. |

Painfully real, this is. I'm sure we've all been there and made this mistake. Exellent work. *Krista Knutson* "Every moment marked with apparitions of your soul...." ~*Sarah McLachlan- Do What You Have To Do*~ |

Back to the top with this nice piece. Went back to read more of your work and I thought this was well written and speaks so well about how we sometimes say things without realizing the impact of the words. Nice poem. |

Marina, I can relate all too well to words spoken hastily. All that remains is regret. You have my empathy on this one. michael |

A spoken word remains permanently in the heart. This was an excellent poem Liz |

Liz, your right. We can never take back what we have said and unfortunitly I am the worst person for saying things I don't mean out of anger. Marina |
