WORDS, WORDS

All I could think of,
All I could ever say,
All I could have done,
All I could have wanted,
All I could have wished for,

In one second,
One word I uttered,
In anger and frustration
Altered the course,

I couldn't plead temporary insanity,
To take back the words I had spoken,
The written to erase,
The sting in their meaning,
To rub and soothe,

With words I had dreamt up paradise
And in one second,
I brought it all tumbling down,
With one I uttered.
