something you said

they all say the same things
but they're just
words.

and it's pathetic how
emotionally attached you can become
to words.

but something you said
is so different
from the words i've heard before.

but i won't let myself fall.
not again
into words that never last.

i'd apologize
for being so difficult
and not believing your words.

but i made a promise to myself
rely on my own and not others
words.

you may say it's me being afraid.
or over protective.
but i don't care.

sticks and stones
may break my bones,
and words will leave a scar.

heartbreak is the reality.

so i will hold my head high
and only rely on the words that will never let me down.
me, myself, and God's words.
