If words could kill

If words could kill by Maya Crisol

If words could kill...
like a blow in the head
a poison or two hundred pills
a gunshot in the chest
bloody hurting words could kill!
they stab the soul like edged knives
they pierce through unsuspecting hearts
they come like thunder and lightning
strike you down with pain so haunting
it freezes your blood like burning ice
it throws you off the wall...drags you all over the floor
sprawled in your own pool of blood
if words could kill...
you just murdered me by now!


I have been stewing over a conversation that was had earlier in the day where I was told that I could not be trusted and that I may do something to harm someone in my "stated condition". Those words were like a knife in my chest. Anyone who knows me knows that I would never hurt anyone, unless they were going to hurt someone I loved. I know for a fact that I would take a bullet or fight someone twice my size if they had ever tried to hurt my spouse. Yet, I would never harm an innocent person. That is not my style. I feel like I have been put into an episode of the Twilight Zone, one where words are used like weapons. A piece of me was murdered today.
