Words in passing

They will be a bitter memory.

Every single word.

Emotions out of hand,

 and here is the result.

Shattering lifelong bonds.

Words must be chosen,

 or at least acknowledged.

They always seem to linger.

The simplest of throwaway comments can often be the most devastating Jon. I know, for I am that soldier :)
Superb.

Thank you. A simple word may cause so much pain, but it also can bring a smile.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, words do linger, for such a long time....we must choose them carefully...

they can hurt for a long time...or we can treasure them for a long time.

What do you do when they are not your words?

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, in my reply...i meant that we can be so easily hurt by the choice of words...and those who speak or write, really must choose carefully....

[Jon Roggie]

jacob. This is another reason why I would like to sit in one of your classes.
