the power of word.

Just one word need be said

before your world begins to crumble

and all that you thought you had

begins to fade and tumble.

Just two small syllables

can turn your world around -

inside out, and upside down.

asphyxiated and drowned.

But nothing means more

than this that leaves my lips.

And nothing will hurt more

than this that parts my lips.

“Sorry.”
