A Second of Haste

A second of haste could hurt another,
But why would you even care
A single word could ruin a life,
A happy heart it could tear

A single word said without a thought,
Could cut a wound that will never heal
It be the truth or a lie filled with hatred,
You'll never know how I feel

People think they know everything about you,
There's no more that has to be said,
But one second of anger could end that bond,
Sending thought spirals in your head

You wish you could tell them every detail,
Every single word that could make you rebel
But one thing no one will ever understand,
Is that vulnerability behind that shell.

~Via

You didn't mean to but it's done,
I won't face it, I'll run
It shouldn't hurt me but it did,
So is it goodbye that I'll bid?
