Words

Words...
The knife that cuts without causing to bleed.
The effects of which leave no trace
But can inflict tremendous pain.
Said in one way
But meant in another.
Seeming as though so reassuring
When in reality, it is a bitter cup they deliver.
With great skill can these codes be deciphered.
Even then, confusion rings with the echo of unsurity.
Words expressed with lack of emotion
Meant to bring comfort
But delivered with a hollow feeling.
