Cutting Words

Their words were like poison

A poison that cuts the skin and kills from within.

Their words were like knives

Knives that pierced the soul and ravaged the delicate heart.

Their words will be the downfall of an empire

Their words will cut down the mightiest hero.

Words are the people's weapons

Words are the deadliest of all weapons.

They work their way in

Until there is nothing left within.
