Words that hurt.

Words that hurt 

Words that hurt
Shoot like a blowgun
Never to retract
Remain, never forgotten 

Knock me with the wand
Hurt me with a stab
Wound painful and bloody
Pain all over the body

Wound soon healed
Pain relieved.
All forgotten and set off
And scars wilt off

But the spoken words that hurt
Haunt till I remain
Never to forget and never to forgive
The words, I pray, never to hear again .
