Words wound

Whisper softly as the night closes in
Around us
Darkness attempts to comfort
Attempts to end our pain
Like it has ended the day behind us

Do you remember today
It never really wanted to arrive
Struggled like us to be together
And fled as soon as it could escape

Whisper softly my love
I can't handle loud words
They bleed me-painfully
Screaming goodbyes and tearful sorrys
Are pounding in my ears-I cant take it anymore

Whisper softly your troubled farewell
For those are the bladed words that will kill
