The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Don’t say the things

You can’t know are true

Quit making promises

That you cannot keep

Things aren’t as predictable

As you seem to think

 

All it takes is the blink of an eye

And everything changes

In an instant

Forever

Your unspoken words

It hurts just to think

This reminds me very much of the hurt words you might actually say aloud to someone else, and I think that realistic edge helps it vibrate a few heartstrings. While 'evocative' might be too strong of a word, this is a piece that sets up a little dull ache because of the emotions it conveys. Good work.

 

I think that this would benefit from some punctuation, too. Especially in the last two lines, I felt as though the careful application of a hyphen or comma would have helped guide the reading to more precisely match the stream of thoughts. Of course, not everyone is as fond of punctuation as I am. ;)

 

It's a very fine piece, purple_shadows. Thank you for sharing.

 

Yours,
