Words As Weapons

Have you not a clue of

the magnitude of the

words you’ve just spoken

to me?

 

Don’t you know of the

devastating effect your

words have carelessly

inflicted on me?

 

You’re careful in other

aspects of your life, but

what about me? I am

your wife!

 

Can’t you for once just

pretend to believe and

grant my feelings a much

needed reprieve?

 

Not a thing hurts me more

than to know you don’t

care, so my dreams I have

chosen to cease to share.

 

And I’ll leave you with a

bit of advice: before you

speak to someone, always

think twice…

 

For words as weapons can hurt

more, you see, than any pain

you could cause someone physically.

Words can hurt for along time.
Good write and well expressed

[M I N D Y]

its great that you went here instead of arguing... and you're right. Words are the worst of weapons. i have many times thought of things i've said to someone that i wish i could take back... and many times i've heard words said to me so clearly and still as painful as they were the moment i heard them.

a beautiful write. i love the way you used the sentence structure for verst. great!!!

"Stop and think before you speak" Great words taught to me.. This is a great write. I can relate to this from my ex husband.. His words were just awful. A GREAT WRITE

[AshestoAshes]

I enjoyed this greatly. I can understand the feeling. It also helped me remember that I may hurt others more than I intend to when I'm mad or upset. Thanks. =]

This is true: words stay with you forever, but physical pain fades. Interesting piece, I like it.

So true! Words do hurt and no one realizes it... or cares. I know the feeling! Great Write.


Thank Nuala for sending this to me, again =)

Very powerful and amazing. You really express your anger and pain in a very harsh but somber tone. This poem just flowed with ease on top of everything else. Great write really enjoyed reading this.

"Not a thing hurts me more
than to know you don't
care, so my dreams I have
chosen to cease to share." When harsh and careless words are used, then walls are put up in defense...things can build and get stronger...like a locomotive down the tracks. Your poem really displays genuine feelings we all have. You express this so well and your poem teaches us all to slow down before we hurt someone. All our dreams can and will live on, with or without the approval of loved ones--although it would be better with them! An awful way to hurt a poet is through words; their jewels.
