Silly words
Fill my memories
Causing tears
Bringing laughter
Silly words
Cut me to the bone
And lift me higher
Than ever
Those silly words
Of love
Of hate
Of support
Of denial
I run towards
Silly words
I crawl away from
Silly words
I want to embrace
To make my own
While cursing them
As I utter them
Silly words
Formed from the slime
Of my darkness
And the sparkle
Of my passion
Over and over
I hear them
Over and over
They haunt me
Those silly
Silly words
