Words Kill

My name is Love and I was stabbed to death 

It was no stranger, but some one I adored 

Someone I trusted, someone I relied upon 

Someone I gave my heart to, someone I wanted to spend my life with

My name is Love, and I was stabbed in my heart by the meaning of a word

A word, yes a word, but it was not just a word, as it was given to me by that someone special 

It was not an ordinary word, it was part of that list of words called Criminal words

These words commit the crime of killing Love 

These are ugly, scary, dangerous, and harsh words

And on top of that list was that word

It was the meaning of that word, which stabbed me to death

That meaning is still stuck in my heart,

And every day, for the rest of my dead life I am bound to bleed through my soul

Drop by drop, as each day, that meaning squeezes my heart, until it stops

Suffocating me, draining me, stabbing me over and over and over again

that word was 

" Hate "
