Nothing But Adding To The Noise

Words. Yes, words are nice. Yes, they can comfort. Yes, they can persuade a mind. Yes, they can empower a nation. Yes, they can kill. But words can never mend other words.

How many times as a women heard "I love you" before being abused. It doesn't matter how many times it was used in love. Those times can shatter the words true mean with lies and hate, till the word is nothing more than the saying "Hi".

"I'm sorry." How many times have you heard this from someone who never means it. Yes, there are times when these words ring true but it's clouded by a smug of distrust and dishonesty.

I miss the times when "I love you" made me grin. I miss when "I'm sorry" made me forgive. I miss the truth and honesty. I miss what once was. Who am I without words? What do I say when no words hold the meanings I seek?

Words.
Words are life.
Words are communication.
Words love.
Words hate.
Words aren't always true.
Words aren't always lies.
How do you find truth in lies?
Memories fail on us.
But words that were said...
Never fade.
