Overcoming abuse by words.


Your words...

like termites
work themselves into my mind
infiltrate
the structural foundation
of my confidence
boring passageways
gnawing
gouging
eating away my courage
weakening inner strength
endurance.

When you finally worm yourself away
and into someone else
I am released
totally destroyed.

My trust in humans shattered
Were it not for love.

Love truly does conquer all. Your poem is well written, and so you express yourself so beautifully. I will track your work, and look forward to reading more.
Stop in to my authors den when you have a chance.

What words we need to hear are true words, caring words, nice words, friendly words, loving words, saving words, and hopeful words, many more words too all of them uplifting.
