His words,
He throws them at Her,
Like sharpened knives,
Aimed to kill.
The cuts he makes;
The blood he draws;
The scars he forms.
Sometimes She wishes She didn't
Know him.
Spare her,
Please?

Words can hurt, more than people know. This poem tells just how much they can hurt.

Thank you! It was based on one person, but it also relates to other people, not just this one person. Let me know what you think of some of my other poems too, I'm going to be posting some more. I love feedback!!
