The Sting of Your Words
The words tumbling out from a stranger is fine, But from your lips they feel sour like lime It hit hard and deep and I don’t know why Tears threaten to shimmer and spill down my eyes Maybe it’s due to our bond, so divine That makes every reaction something that feels like mine Close and personal, but still it stings Am I enough? Am I doing too many things? I never intended to hurt your soft heart Yet your words ring in my ears, it’s breaking me apart Heaviness wants to settle in my chest I can’t ease myself, it’s an unwritten quest And yet I can’t win, can’t soothe the ache within I stay still outside but inside I’m screaming.
