Words

Words aren't simply vibrations in our throat.

Words are how we praise, and how we gloat.

Words can break, kill, and steal.

They cause more pain than one should feel.

like salty kisses of boys,

like semen

Words.....

She created a world,

Where words are dreams,

A world of imagination,

A world of ideal.

Words are a start,

Words are an end,

Words are life,

Words are emotions.
