If Words Could Kill Poem by maya crisol

If words could kill...
like a blow in the head
a poison or two hundred pills
a gunshot in the chest
bloody hurting words could kill!


they stab the soul like edged knives
they pierce through unsuspecting hearts
they come like thunder and lightning
strike you down with pain so haunting
it freezes your blood like burning ice
it throws you off the wall...
drags you all over the floor
sprawled in your own pool of blood
if words could kill...
you just murdered me by now!
