Bruises

Fränz Müller

Your words

land like fists

an unrelenting verbal beating

the likes of which

leave only scars

on the inside

mental bruises

that never quite heal

but rather

calcify, silent witnesses

of what transpired.

    The old adage sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me does not apply here. Words can cut deep and do sever damage. Nicely written my friend

    Damn, Fränz. I've known people who could do more damage with their mouths than their fists. And sometimes it takes years to recover. This one hit close to home. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
