Words

Words can bring a man up.

Words can bring a man down.

Words can break his heart without making a sound.

Tears can come like a river and move him away.

Dragging him down under the tow, never letting go.

Hoping the water will clean him and heaven he will go.

Pain of words can be so great.

That you don't know they hurt until its too late.

Wondering how to make the pain move like a mountain and go away.

You hope to see a hand from the dust extended out.

A hand the grips yours tightly and pulls you out.

Holding you knowing its for you without a doubt.

Waiting for the words the will bring you up.

Give you strength and most of all love.

Love that can calm the water of your tears, and your pain and fears.
