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

[Heart and soul]

Fantastic...I love it

[Tamme]

People don't realize the damage words can cause. Unlike being stabbed, punched, or shot there is no obvious sign of impact. Well written.

[Papillion]

A deep and good write. No one should cause so much hurt to another.

[Bubo]

Very deep write and obviously written from a very hurt point of view.............
words do hurt and the impact can last a long time.........and to be made to feel the person does not care for you or your dreams is soul destroying...............maybe giving them this will make them see that hurt.

[Deborah Leah Krempa]

The hidden scars of words do seem to run deeper once the bruises have healed. A very good write. Thank you; for sharing. Debileah

This is a great write and so true you can get very tired of the words I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that so quick. Me and my husband have been married for seven and half years but the last two years have been tough.

[John Stussy]

Well, you are absolutely right, psychological and emotional damages hurt a hell of a lot more than physical pain does.

Oh yes - Once something has been said we cannot take it back, no amount of sorry's said seem to erase the memory that cuts deep. Best to be one of life's placid souls, and a few carefully chosen words can diffuse a crisis and create calm. Best wishes, Bethlynne.

Man,
That's about as clear as you can put it. Just a great write.
