Razor sharp
Capable of inflicting pain
Enough to cause death and destruction
Our words are powerful
Their strength usually forgotten until
In a time of heat and chaos
Something is said
Irrevocable and unforgettable
The hurt inflicted by our words
Forces our egos to rise up
Backs turned to each other
Refusing to give in
Only wanting to relive the pain
Keeping the fire burning
Fueling the anger
Growing apart as each second passes
Apologies go unheard
Love forgotten
Only the unforgettable memory
Of an unforgivable offense
Stuck in the past
Living in the pain
Will we choose to live in love again?
