Sticks and stones may break my bones but words....
May never hurt me?
Whoever made that lie just wanted to be strong.
What if those words came from the one you loved
Then tell me what would their excuse be. That their love is fleeting?
I may not hurt physically but it breaks me.
The emotional scars created may never heal
Permanently engraved it remains unseen, constantly replayed for the heart to weep
Playing its melodies of sadness against its cage, fervently trying to escape.
Each beat like a fresh new wound.
Sticks and Stones may break my bones but hurtful words from the one you love
will always leave a scar.
