Words are just words,
when you've broken a heart
salty tear drops stain her face,
burning straight from the start
spitting out words,
intended to hurt
ignoring the sadness,
the sheer pain in her eyes
pushing her harder,
feeding her sorrow
wanting to hurt,
the very core of her soul
you're anger has faded,
several weeks have past
putting your pride aside,
you ask her to forgive
the mean spirited words,
you so freely said
forgiveness is hard,
the heartache cant be erased
remember words are just words,
when you've broken a heart
Author notes
Words are sometimes hard to take back and they never really leave a heart that has been broken, even if forgivness is granted. "It takes only moments to destroy a building, but years to rebuild it". Dont take love or life lightly, we are only here for a short time and hurtful words we use with the intent to cause pain, arent worth the things we loose when we say them. We may never get back the trust, respect or love of the person we've hurt. "why do we always use the words that cut the deepest, when I know how much they hurt you, baby, why do I do that to you? ... why does it always have to come to you leaving, before I'll say I love you, oh tell me why, do I do that to you?"

In line 20 there is a typo; [heartache]
I feel your sentiments and yes, it is true that we cannot take harsh words back. For some reason they lie dormant in the psyche. They often come fumbling back into existence long after they've been unleashed and remind us of how one once felt. This is an intense writ. It covers the emotional drain that bitter expressions, said in the heat of anger can give to both arguing parties. Excellent entry.
Thanks for the time spent to enter my challenge. I wish you all the best.
Much Love ♥

Yep, what has been done can't be undone and it's so true
that it only takes seconds to destroy what may have taken years to build. Unfortunately the things said in anger are often meant, but one doesn't what to say them because of what the others actions my be. It's a real shame hun that people just can't be honest with each other in everything. How many years have been wasted when someone has been discontented in a relationship but still won't tell the other person. Maybe it just come down to laziness and the thought of having to start all over again with someone new, that may just be the cause for affairs too. People cheat often knowing they will be forgave. It really not the seven year itch for it's around 2-3 years when the chemical effects start wearing off of a new relationship and then we really see what is there without all the hormones racing...
