Why

words and how they hurt

Your verbal assault, no excuse
turned me into Dr. Seuss
words like weapons upon the page
right back at you full of rage

Words said in anger are used to cause pain
from your lips to my ears like acid rain
burning, stinging, aiming at the heart
why can't you see we're better off apart?

So keep 'em coming, your words inspire
for me to answer your request
You want to know why I left you?
Your words say it best.
