Words fall like the sweetest poison
Seeping into your skin
Running through your veins
And you hold them
Breathe them
Live them
Write them
They inspire love, hate, anger, happiness
You trust them
So when they fail
It stings
It burns
You rage
At yourself
The world
The universe
And you repeat this process for a lifetime
Or so I predict
For there is still air in my lungs
And hope in my heart
