the summer where it started
his hope had already departed
she didn’t know how important she would be
little did he know she was the key
the key to the future & bliss
a sign he couldn’t afford to miss
he noticed her one night
when she lit the room bright
he knew she could only do right
she said a quick hello
it finally started to grow
a smile that had been gone from him too long shown
she made him feel far from alone
they talked till the sun slept
nothing could ruin this except
words
the words of others
they ruined it to smothers
the lies, the rumors, the hate
it dragged them down like a weight
how can words affect so deeply
words are oh so sneaky
they ruin everyone and everything
till ‘twas nothing but a fling
