Leave now before it’s too late So many words spoken in hate Two people prefer blame Over compassion and tame Don’t look back There’s nothing but black Leave now before I change my mind The enemy waits in the persona of time No more hurtful words please Serves no purpose but to appease Oneself from hurt Nothing left to pervert Leave now and don’t return The last bridge broken and burned No more arguments and diatribe Serves no purpose but to divide Two people fragile and broken Nothing left to revive or open Alone at last and free to dream How two could love and be a team Once thoughtful and compassionate Caring and affectionate Free at last from hurt and pain Memories linger just the same

Yes they do linger with pain but when sitting down and writing out the words does help to heal.

Truthful write... The pain that is inflicted, with our own words, are wounds that may never heal...
