“Tell me –where the words
touched you, wounded you and gave you scars that will never fade away. Show me
every inch of the patch where words stabbed you to the bone, hidden under that
skin. But most importantly, I want to know about that hollow spot where the
damage was infinite and irrevocable. Maybe there is not a single word that
could describe the damage the other words have done to you, maybe you will
always be lost for words when you will be talking about words, and that is when
you will realize that words are not only something that comes out of your mouth
or flows out of the ink –it is something that creates life of its own and lives
forever. Maybe someday when you will realize it has faded away and you’ll be
curled up warm in bed, it will lurk from the past and scare you and you will be
staring at those empty ceilings –sleepless and devoid of comfort. Maybe it will
stab you again; right in the middle of your chest where all that dampness of
sorrow resides –you will realize you were never over it, it was just like you
had a cup of Novocain and now it doesn’t work anymore. That time you will know
what a word can do. Words hurt and irony is you don’t find the words to
describe it, so you name it after the people who gave it to you and that is why
there’s no remedy for it.”
They say you’ll be alright;
know you want to believe,
and you hear them talk;
know you want to leave.
Fail to understand game of
words;
all about the truth and
lies,
silence is comforting but;
what a promise signifies?
They sell you words again;
can’t see the hole carved
deep,
words hurt and words heal;
sometimes, aches even in
the sleep.
Wish words were like
smoke;
so you never have to have
them again,
but they stay too long and
deep;
nothing can refrain.
Of what’s already said;
sticks like arrows into
your heart,
words kill you but flesh
remains;
only words bleed when you
depart.
They sell you words again;
words they can’t keep,
words hurt and words heal;
sometimes, aches even in
the sleep.
