Cold Words

Charles David Sharp


Who could believe I turned you on 
Checking recordings on my phone 
I heard you slinging sticks and stones 
Cold words roll like water off of down 
Over the heart now harder than granite 
Over the heart now strengthened with pain 
Quite as the death of some distant planet 
Unnoticed as tears in the rain 
Some shallow words you once sent me 
Said you'd be mine eternally 
Now, lifeless as a winter leaf 
Cold words roll like water off of down 
Over the heart now harder than granite 
Over the heart now strengthened with pain 
Quite as the death of some distant planet 
Unnoticed as tears in the rain
