My bitter words came out impatiently A flow of misery, of darkened thoughts Of ignorance and irrationality Now this unsavory aftertaste is left My better words, no more secrets to be kept Your bitter words, a restless source of pain Different each other day, water to wine From distant skies to familiar terrains Now the confusion within has come to light Your better words won’t suffice to get things right Thoughtless and perverse Rhymes of disarray Soon tore down the trust Of the early days Passion in reverse Poured like acid rain Soon put down to rust Our derailed trains Our bitter words undid what once we loved They brought up our worst, the secret monsters We conceal and sweep under the rug Now the emotions and hopes from us have fled Our better words, for some reason left unsaid
