Words

Words become a sword
when we cut someone
if they should be cruel

Such become a weapon
when they run you through
piercing the very heart of you.

Sometimes deliberate,
often in haste,
many times unintentional

Still, they cut
for we are
hasty of tongue

Bitter and sweet
both do meet
when people speak

Lots of wise words in this poem... hope we learn more of the sweet, instead of "piercing" someone's heart, "often in haste" thumbs up rose
