Malignant Words

Cut this cancer from my heart

It causes my soul to bleed

An empty echo filled with pain

Where peace can't intercede

Confusion has become my hiding place

Words, just a means to an end

My thoughts cry out in solitude

Looking for a way to ascend

Repetition is now just a prison

My memories, just scars from the past

My dreams fade away like a mist in the night

That are destined never to last

Hope, an illusion, no more than a myth

A lie just meant to deceive

Forgiveness, a promise born to be broken

A promise you'll never receive

Cut this cancer from my heart

Before I surely die

Malignant words I can't survive

Words like the sound of goodbye

Wow, this one really cuts to the core. I have learned (I think) that forgiveness is key... words can be so hurtful, but it is in our actions that we see how someone feels. Although, as wordsmiths you would think we have a better grasp on words and how to use them. For me, that isn't always the case as my emotions mess them up at times - usually in a bad way. Great writing that leaves us with heavy thoughts.
