Temper, Tenor and Trend: The Words You Use

It's the words you use
That hurt and cut so deep
They make the sky turn from blue to grey
Sticks and stones may break my bones, yes
But it's your words that make my bruises permanent

If you love me so right
Why do I scream at night
I'm in love with you but
You don't see all the damage you've caused in me
I've been committed, devoted, believing and loving you

What comes before or in place of me
When I feel myself sinking
Are you available to save me from drowning
Once uplifted, by your hand or another
Walking on eggshells becomes a draining task

A clear day becomes foggy
Midst covers my eyes
I'm afraid to move forward
I become stagnant and may wander
But I don't want to crash again

It's the words you use
That hurt and cut so deep
It's the words you use
That chisel away at my heart
It's the words you use
