Silence

You have to understand something

Words are my everything

So please think before you say

Something you may not really mean

Because I take words straight to the heart

Words have given me scars you can not see

Sticks and stones have broken my bones

But only words have ever hurt me

Broken promises, shallow charm,

And wicked lies have left me shattered

Words that have hurt me in the past

From the people in my life that mattered

Mattered enough for me to trust

In every word they chose to say

It only takes a single word

To make love stay or go astray

You have to understand something

Words are all I've ever had in life

So please speak unto me loving roses

Rather than spit at me lying knives

Because I take words for what they're worth

Say nothing that could make me withdraw

As they say; if you've nothing nice to say

Don't say a fucking thing at all.
