It could be the toothache from the wine
that keeps you up tonight

or maybe the old fashioned bed
with springs that strike your bones

it hurts to talk
even more to scream

screaming-talking
whats the difference, when words strangle both

It's not the way you say it, no
they always told you it was

its the words contained, set loose on dirty lips

licked clean, makes you wanna think them out again

regurgitated
the sickly swallow of pride

you'll be up all night

it's not the way you say them
that makes it sound so bad
it's what you say

Instant karma's gonna get you.

Gemma, this sums it up
"it's not the way you say them
that makes it sound so bad
it's what you say"

been there, heard that....this speaks so well....but so poignantly...
heart hugs to you.

I must have had my momma's will
and Gods Amazing Grace...

makes the words sound as if they are discarded pieces of trash..left to rot on the floor then picked through to see if any of them can be swallowed at all...

strong write Gemma...

And shame on him for saying those words!
You deserve better, m'dear!

If you're not getting the love from him, you should consider giving yourself some self love!

--now go kiss a mirror!

Loveya!

Gemma, I wish I could talk to him...he shouldn't be saying those words that hurt to you. He will realize what he's lost in you one day...then it's going to be to late.

This is a very good write, my friend. I'm keeping it, too.

Hugs and Love :kisss:

(big hugggssssss) Oh Gemma, my heart sends many angel hugs your way, sweet friend, he obviously doesn't deserve you if he is going to treat you harshly! (sad sigh) I send angel hugs your way and know you will find someone special who can speak with words of kindness and love, sweet friend, now go kiss that mirror, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Gemma, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
