Carefully Chosen Words©

Words that comfort me when you can’t be by my side

Leave me wanting more than I know you are willing to give me

Your words warm me up

When there is a chill in the air

But sometimes your words cut through my skin and

Bury my heart

Leaving me feeling like a target

Meant to host your pain for a stay

Until you bounce back

Like a ricochet

Once again

Your words warm me up

While your smile

Brings me hope

That we can cope

With all that lies ahead
