Sticks & Stones

The power of words, it's absurd
How they can fly like birds
From the ear to the brain, causing the mind to curd
Even from one, as soft-spoken as Ferb
I'm a word nerd
And these words can inflict damage, ya heard?
It can be inferred
That as cliche as this sounds, my ramblings started with a girl
She was just a friend
No really, she was just a friend
But this friendship was strained because of a word
Now let the story unfurl
You see this girl
Was a part of my crew and we were kicking it
Laid back, chilling like villains, parlaying wit
Thought it would be funny to insult her intelligence
With a smug grin on my face, the words tumbled out with negligence
Her smile quickly turned upside down
And that frown, was the last thing I saw before the door slamming shook the ground
II sat perplexed?!
It was just a word!
Hurting her was never my intent...never my intent

I said sorry!
I never meant to hurt you
I care for you
Why can't you see that when it comes to you, my intent is never in rue
I thought that you were cool!
Why am I the one shouting at your back?
You respond with click clack
Ack-Ack-Ack-Ack!
I try to contain myself as the one sided wall of silence
Tightens its hold on my sinus
Choking up I realize that silence is violent
The absence of words can be just as absurd
As any inference from those words themselves

As they say, Sticks and Stones may break my bones
But names will...chip away at my soul
