Words Hurt

Sitting in my row boat
Trying hard to paddle
In the river of mire

You sit and criticise me
Quibble over my every word
Putting me in my place

Your words are harsh
Ike a wrench to my heart
Painful and accusing

I glance over at you
Tears are in your eyes
Why are you crying?

You take back your words
And say you’re sorry
It’s just because you care

Speak the truth in love
Is that what it is?
Just please stop
