Words

   They are spoken from your mouth with anger, happiness, pain,
love, friendship, laughter, fear,excitement,sadness.
   They also cause all these emotions,
when spoken to someone else.
   Isn't that funny,
how we hang on to all that some say.
   Perceiving from their tone, the look on their face,
the sound of their voice,
   of what we think they are feeling at the exact moment,
they reach our ears...
    to only later recall them in our mind,
and become so confused,
   wondering if they really meant those words the way we think they did.
All along forgetting....
       they can also be spoken with emptiness!
