Careless Words
Hurtful words uttered in a careless moment can rise like a mountain between us… we can only tear this down with love and forgiveness. If we can strip away the ego and strip away the pain, and look deep into our hearts, we discover that forgiveness is the only way. It’s easy to act out in anger, or bite back in a moment of madness — to stay and be present in our love is challenging, but when we’re brave enough to do this, our love can see us through anything.
Careless words delivered thoughtlessly
Linger longer in the air
Again I’m acting recklessly
And you think that I don’t care
But I do, oooh I do
A quick retort without much thought
Can wind you right away
Violent like a boxer’s blow
Now I’m worried you won’t stay
But you do, you always do
Sometimes we say silly things
Are forgiven all the same
Other times we use careless words
Yet our love remains unchanged
Other times it gets more intense
It really puts us to the test
In the end it’s always true
Love will see us through
Sharp words delivered pointedly
Prick and poison to the core
Something like a scorpion’s sting
Yet somehow we want more, yes we do
Gentle words offered up with love
So intimate and true
Take us to the heart of love
Will always see us through, yes they do
Words that come between us, they don’t stay
Our love is far beyond reactive things we say
Words which stand between us fall away
We’re stronger together, despite some things, some days
Sometimes we say silly things
Are forgiven all the same
Other times we use careless words
Yet our love remains unchanged
Other times it gets more intense
It really puts us to the test
In the end it’s always true
Love will see us through
