Words

Words
filled with meaning
can make you laugh
can make you cry
light up your day
or leave you bleak

Words
from the speaker
it gains its worth
and it loses
just as easily

Words
so easy
so sweet
and yet so bitter
when realized
the emptiness
held within

Words
can heal
regain hope
maybe
if it is not too late

Words
oh do be careful
these are not toys
like metal
shape them
determine their function

Words
so useful
yet so dangerous
Play at your own risk.
