Words are dangerous creatures
It can damage, destroy, and corrupt
With full-on hatred and disgust.

Other times,
It can bring joy, comfort, and pleasure
Happiness mixed with excitement as sweetly
Spoken sentences are whispered in your ears.

Words are indeed dangerous creatures
One has to be careful, watchful, and cautious
How one uses it.

For it can lure you with sweetness or pull you
Apart with bitterness hostility
For words spoken or written can never
Ever be taken back,
Not even in your dreams.
