Its only Words..

Why do words mean so much? Why can one word nullify a hundred caresses? Am I just crazy? Why do words mean so freakin' much? Someone can say the smallest thing n it finds a place somewhere deep in your heart.. it nestles there in this corner, giving you warmth and filling you with hope. And you recall these words in times of quiet desperation... faithfully they comply, reminding you of a more pleasant time. Then there are those words.. the ones that burst out in anger.. words that feel like they strike at ur face cos it hurts so much. Words that creep into your mind and suddenly make those happy words seem so meek and pointless. Words that take control of you and leave a bad after-taste in your mouth. Why do I take words so seriously? Why can't I let them go? Everytime, it takes a little bit out of me.. some part of me that gets lost in those words that tear at my mind... some part of me that never wants to come back.. like a child rebuked.. except these words offer no consolation later. These words just threaten to creep up unexpectedly.. to sabotage a perfectly good moment. Maybe I'm right.. I am crazy afterall.. n' I'm not perfect afterall! I told you so...!!

is just the words that do all that?....i would agree to an extent that words do...they can lift up till you could reach the sky and then hurl you down right into hell.and yes they do take a part of you and sometimes that part of you would a part of your soul......but what if you looked at it this way....you were giving a aprt of you.....giving.something that happens so very rare these days.words would just be that words..were it was not for the feeling that results in the soft tender words that would make your blood hot and your heart flutter...love..just any other word but when uttered through the rose lips of the woman you share your life with....it almost cannot be described..almost meaningless in the most magical and beautiful way.
when a man goes down on one knee and looks upto to the love of his life and asks,"will you marry me?"....in these few words he bares his soul,his need and his desire to be with her through the good and the bad...would not those words be lifeless if love did not beat in his heart and mind?!!!
and what would the battle cry of the soldier be but for his courage and belief to protect his fellow country for what he believes in?
and the when we cry out in anguish when we miss someone so much?
the greatest poetry written was from the hearts of men and women who were stabbed in the depth of their souls and what poured out of those wounds were words which would scream with pain and loneliness and the fire of love.
and how else would a brother show his love for his sister than by giving his heart the voice that would shout words of joy and pride when she won that prize?
