Words Fall

 

Words fall, hard and fast,
But we both knew it couldn't last.
Words fall, heavy and thick,
Slip-sliding through, blood-slick.
Words fall, teardrops in the dust;
Go if you want, do what you must.
Words fall, bitter to the end;
Love heals all wounds, but will this mend?
Words fall, burning their way through;
They'll fade away now... I love you.
