Double edged sword
Covers so many things.
But in my mind
This is what it brings...
It brings strange thoughts to me.
Thoughts about hate and also love.
Thoughts about lost dreams and fantasies.
The hurt of a demon and the peace of a dove.
What we had was a double edged sword
Sometime happy and peaceful and fun.
But other times it was wicked and cruel.
We said terrible things when our love was done.
Words are a powerful weapon
They are as sharp as any knife.
Once spoken they can never be unsaid,
Some cut so deep they break a heart for life.
In a moment of anger or even in jest
A harsh word can cause such sorrow.
Your words and my words just linger still
Like a double edged sword... into tomorrow
I know you once loved me
For a little while anyway
From the beginning I loved you
...And still do today.
A double edged sword was this love of ours
We allowed hate to sneak in and that's sad.
But can't you hate what has happened
And still love what you had?
Some words were so bitter
But they arose from the hurt.
We were filled with reactions
And we both got burnt.
The words are now quiet
No more double edged sword.
No more to hurt, no more to be hurt
On that I give you my word.
You've moved on with your life
I'm moving on with my own
Perhaps... that double edged sword
Was only mine alone.
