-A Single Word-
A single word can slash the soul
A single word can cut so deep
And rip apart what once was whole
Till only tears bring only restless sleep
A single word can poison friends
A single word can stain the pure
As friendships come to a bitter end
And innocence succumbs to evil's bitter lure
Or a single word can mend a heart
Or dry a hundred tears
A single word can reconcile
Or wipe away the blood of many years
And so I ask you, tell me this
Do you seek to cause grief or bliss?
What truly lies within your heart?
What single word will you impart?
A single word can slash the soul
A single word can cut so deep
And rip apart what once was whole
Till only tears bring only restless sleep
A single word can poison friends
A single word can stain the pure
As friendships come to a bitter end
And innocence succumbs to evil's bitter lure
Or a single word can mend a heart
Or dry a hundred tears
A single word can reconcile
Or wipe away the blood of many years
And so I ask you, tell me this
Do you seek to cause grief or bliss?
What truly lies within your heart?
What single word will you impart?
