Words Spoken
March 21, 2010
By Rose Marie Rideout

I heard them from your lips,
The words so softly spoken,
As I cried tears of sorrow,
From words you’ve spoken often.

I felt my heart being crushed,
So harshley it was broken,
From the words that you whispered,
Those harsh words again spoken.

They’re just words spoken,
I tried to tell my heart,
But the more you had to say,
Just tore my world apart.

Why now, after all this time,
Why now after all those years,
Why now, Where have I failed,
As I wipe away the burning tears.

It’s not the words you said,
But the way you said them dear,
I heard them from your lips,
That you no longer for me care.
