The Use of Words

Forever:
The funny little word
Made to give false hope
To people whom you don’t love back.

Hope:
The ‘happy’ little word
Used only by a desperate person
Trying to keep you alive another day.

Happiness:
The convincing little word
Spoken by a true liar
In an attempt to shield you from their pain.

The truth:
The accusing little words
Uttered by someone wanting to help,
But no, you’ll never give anyone the chance to help you.

Trust:
The frightening little word
Voiced by someone who will undoubtedly hurt you;
They’ll earn it, then break it along with your hear.

Sorry:
The treacherous little word
Whispered after someone killed you inside.
They use this word to get you back so they can do it again.

Love:
The painful little word
Murmured solely by the one you gave yourself to,
Only to have them leave and take your last breath with them.
