Words Poem by Anna Malmenlid

Words



Words
They Shatter
My world

They break
My heart

They heal wounds

A single whisper
Makes me forget
Words

They Destroy
All beauty

They build
New power

They create
New feelings

Words
They lie
To me

They forgive
The broken bone

Words
They can do
so that everything
Matter
But as quickly
Break it apart

Words
That lies here
In my heart
Constantly
On my mind
Blank papers
Are filled with them

Words
Make sure
That you
Never forget
How much
They hurt
Or how much
You love them

Put them
in the right
moment
And you have
the world
in your hands

Very nice poem, expressing the dual nature of language: a blessing or a curse. But also a tool, that you have used jolly well!
