The Power of Words

On April 1, 2016, it took one word to end a life. I was the person who used that word

against my better judgment, that resulted in the death of a small creature that left a

huge impact.

For months after she was gone, I contemplated suicide on a daily basis. All

that is left is what's inside of me, inside my soul. So, I started writing in a way

to beg for forgiveness - hers and mine. I needed to find a way to free my soul,

if that was even possible.

My regret is it only took one word to end her life. Now, I'm using all the words

I can find, create, use, explain, talk - to beg for her forgiveness.

Words are what I used as a weapon and now, I use those words in the hope

that each word left behind will be a bread crumb filled with love that she will see

that all my words aren't meant to harm but to lift my spirit now so I can see

hers.

I keep writing to live, to ask for forgiveness. I write to show the world that I

might be worthy of a love that is invisible to the eye but felt with each

heartbeat.

How I wish I could have not used that one word. Just one word that destroyed

her life and mine as an after thought. So, I send all my words to heaven until

we can be together again.
