Saddest Words

The saddest words, ever spoken, were,
I just don't care,
Nothing crueler, could be said,
Indifference, cold and bare.

Angry words, heated passion,
Bitter, but there's feeling,
When there's nothing there to find,
How do you start healing?

When hurt has numbed you to the bone,
And empty's all you know,
How do you come back from the edge,
And learn once more to grow?

Slip those words back in your mouth,
Don't let them take your soul,
I'd rather live a life of pain,
Than give up that control.

Passive blood within my veins?
It just could not survive,
Stronger than you'll ever know,
Or ever could contrive.
