Butchered Words
July 9, 2013
Chopped
Minced
Cut
She winced.
Painful words hit like a flame,
No one knew what she became.
Flame was her last resort,
By the flame she did distort.
Knife
Sliced
Bled
He cringed.
His heart was thoughtlessly singed.
They didn't know what they said,
But their crude words left him dead.
Doesn't matter how they regret,
To him, his death date was set.
Chopped

Knife
Sliced

Cringed
Dead.
Butchered words were said.
