Words can be a knife, <br />Stabbing at the soul, <br />Spreading through its victims like cancer. <br />Giving birth to hate so strong and pure. <br />A hate that can’t be cured with a simple sorry, <br />Hate that is with us till death. <br />Words can be so powerful, <br />Without thought, <br />Love is ended. <br />Friends become enemies, <br />Watch my tears run down my face, <br />The pain has been dealt, <br />Now you are dead to me.<br /><br />Joseph Tanner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/words-that-hurt/
