Choose Words Well
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

There are equations in math,

That promote an answer correctly.

There are words we speak

That have an opposite effect.

 

Be careful in choosing words

That you send to a love one.

Rewrite them if they sting

Or leave a bad impression.

 

Bitterness in words cuts both ways.

You cannot be justified in a retraction.

Once a word is written, choose it well.

There will then be no need to retract it.

right, never write what you dare not sign, as long as the pen is mightier than the sword, a double-edged Chinese blade, not that of a Samurai. . . to be a lover isn't so simple, so far as the printed word concerned; otherwise, it will be difficult to prove your alibi. . . anyway, be brave, 'come what may, it's there to stay,' as the saying goes. Well done, George. Cheers, alex

Eh . . . The mental state often decides on the words written in anger. And yes, they cannot be erased from the lovers heart. He/She can never forget.
