Why?

How could you say those things?

Even if you think that he clings?

You shouldn’t have said a word

It is something he should have never heard

Those words should never have been spoken

And now he is absolutely heart broken

You made him feel that he didn’t belong

In a home that he had wanted for so long

He took some tablets to heal the pain

You have to take some of the blame

He could have lost his life

Tablets this time rather than his bloody knife

You know he is depressed

And it was a lot for him to digest

You know he has mental health problems

His problems have now increased by volumes

Did you really have to say it all?

Did you really want to watch him fall?

He is on his hands and knees unable to even crawl

All because of this silly brawl

It was really a close call

You made him feel so small

Was your aim to destroy?

He is my baby boy

How could you do it?

Did you really think he could cope with one more hit?

You are his best friend

Did you really want to see him descend?

Why did you carry on?

You knew his mind had gone

You knew he was so hurt

You knew that his mind would revert

The pain and suffering of old

You knew he shouldn’t be told

You knew how sensitive he can be

The damage you were doing you could see

You know what he is like

But you took the opportunity to strike

Every word was like a kick

Why did you have to pick?

Every sentence like a slap

You really made him flap

Why couldn’t you stop

When his soul began to flop?

Do you know the damage you have caused?

Couldn’t you mouth be paused?

His parents tried to kill him with their hands

Of all people I thought you would be the one who understands

You are just as bad

You made him really sad

And what is really absurd

Is that you nearly killed with him with every word!

This is a punchful pack poem with so much rage and anger, I felt kinda sorry for the person at the end of this punch but the words did hurt me to what he said and polar bears protect their young with every bit of fur they have a mother gotta do what a mother gotta do.

My little Wolf Cub,

It may have been only said using angry words. But it could have taken your brother away from you and me. He is still in hospital suffering from these angry words baby. I will protect all my babies with the same amount of passion. But I have to do it legally baby, and you must understand that. I have to keep all 3 of you safe. All I can do is use words baby not fists.

I love you baby girl

Your poetry expresses so grippingly how words can cause such painful damage to another.. devastating their psyche.. Whether this be parent, teacher, friend, or other, we must all learn the power of words to cure or kill.

A great write with a powerful message. A question and wonder....why would such things happen. It does and I am sorry it did.

Regards,

Matthew
