it all starts with a word
an unintentional action
someone is hurt, someone cries
only the one knows of the hurt
they bury the hurt
and it festers the wound
burns inside
without healing
slowly they change for the worst
no longer are they nice to the accused
they're cordial
they're fake
the accused is hurt
for they have no clue
now both are in pain
and one is left confused
if only they had talked
of what had transpired
if only ...this hurt could have been avoided.
bitterness kills the soul.
