THE TEAR OF WORDS
No one asks
to hear a lie
but they are given
sometimes
easily
sometimes
accidentally
sometimes
deliberately
regardless of their presentation
the reaction
and result
are equally painful
Lies are created
from words
ink is the poison
on paper
but the voice
is the teller
that sometimes
has a mind
of its own
Words on paper
mean something
but when spoken
mean something else
no matter how small
how white
or how innocent
all lies hurt the same
When the trust
is broken
the liar possesses
no tools
to fix except
three more words
that lack conviction
I am sorry
Using words
to fix words
is hopeless
Do not dare
ask for forgiveness
it is not your place
it is now your turn
to deal with the pain
which is now
many times worse
knowing you
were the cause
The wave
you have created
is one that builds
and builds and will drown you
if you are not forgiven
but you are not worthy of forgiveness
so your fate is sealed
and you are swallowed
by a self-inflicted wave
It is difficult to act
when you believe
you do not deserve
to be forgiven
but that is selfish
pitying yourself rather
than giving her the respect
of trying to win back her trust
to lie and then ignore
her is a hurt
that is rarely
overcome
It is your turn
to lay your heart
on the line
and risk embarrassment
you have nothing else to lose
you need to show her
not tell her
A special person
once told me
that actions
speak louder than words
I tried to tell her the words
were not said correctly
I know now that she was right
I guess there comes a time
when only actions
can
mend
the tear of words
