You speak acid words to me
And still I grope for them,
I clench them near and dear
And smile as my hands burn
And they dig into me.

I hold them close to my heart,
Wincing joyfully as your words sink in
And eat away at my chest
And my heart falls to pieces.

Only when what we work hardest to build falls on top of us do we truly know the full extent of our work.
