                I remember when it all began
You said                                                       "Hello"
                      And took my hand
You said                                                  "How are you?"
                        As if you cared
You said                                                  "I can help you"
                         I was scared
You said                                                   "I'll show you"
                       And that you did          
You said                                                    "I love you"
                        And that was it
You said                                                     "I hate you"
                        I wanted more
You said                                                    "I'll hurt you"      
                        Still wasnt sure
You said                                                    "I will kill you"
                           I didnt care
You said                                                     "I'm leaving"
                         Just wasnt fair
You said                                                      "Good Bye"
                       You said good bye

The title sums up the underlining message of this piece, words are the sharpest tools at our disposal. With a few simple words we can make or break a person a thousand ways without clenching a fist.

I have mixed feelings about this piece, I appreciate the writer's style and underlining message but the mixture comes from the personal emotion evoked which makes me feel a little too similar to the subject in the poem.

But that is a sign of great literature, something that can play with your emotions and make you happy, sad, angry, scared...that is the magic of great reading and thus I can tell the writer that you are bang on the money, keep it up.
