Words of Flight



Isn't it funny how the truth comes to light
Through pent up anger that is put on paper
Words expressed to spark flames of a fight

You will pack so much emotion in one phrase to be right
Misdirected by your misguided anger
And wrong conclusions you keep in your sight

Every difference and contradiction that they might
Replace what is goodness and true and sincere
Hiding behind the curtain that has in turn shed new light

Refusing to believe that the words would take flight
Despite closing the door thinking it would be better
While the darkness still blinds you to see what is right

Still holding fast to the lies you grasp day and night
Crushing your spirit one more time and more vaster
But still standing tall on the ledge of your height

That paper, it's burning my heart not from fright
But of the sadness in you now and I hope not forever
That will keep you standing alone in your plight
Until it is thrown away like this friendship overnight
