Mere Words

Thunderstruck in a clear sky.
Out of the blue worlds collapse and
leave us shattered and beaten.
Not a word uttered with
malicious intent.
And yet you've been hurt
by mere words.
Tears flow and fall as gravity
pulls them down.
Down to the ground where
I lay, fallen in despair.
Desperation in fear of losing you.
Losing the only world that I used to know.
Mere words can make you fly,
make you happy and take you high.
Mere words can make you fall,
and leave you to die.
