Those Words

This one's for him...

"I close my eyes and brace myself..."

Those words

Unspoken in between thoughts

Those words

Left unsaid between silences

Those words

Tore open my heart,

Beat me down,

And broke me...

Dear, those words

Those "meaningless" words

Cause pain

Cause sorrow

Cause anger and hate...

Those small little words

Those stupid little words

Those words that broke me

Those words that killed me

Those words that drove me to the edge of the abyss

And back

Those, my dear, are not little words...

No, they tore me

Stabbed me, wreaked me

Destroyed me, shattered me

Above all else,

They broke my heart

You'd think that small words

Couldn't hurt you, right?

Well, dear, you're dead wrong

How about I say those small words to you,

And see how you feel after that

Those words made me hollow

They broke my heart

And I have no way of fixing it

Goodbye Love,

My memories of you will never fade

Because you, Jared, were my first love...

Author's Note

Well, this should explain a lot more than you think it does.

Wow. Usually so much repition can be rather distracting, and not correctly used but in here, the repition mkaes your theme jump at you and kill you, The one thing I can say is this, don't resate one this over and over again. For example, when you say they killed me is said twice, but really you've said it more in diffrent ways. But other than that, i love it.
Good JOb.

This was really powerfully done. The reader can feel the heartbreak, the sense of loss. Great job.
