He Blew It Out

Tweet

Please be mindful of the words you speak, the one’s you type, what you say because words really can be weapons, and they can destroy… He Blew it Out Like candles in the Wind. He made it disappear Never to be seen again. Careless words Thrown out Not a thought For the damage they Did. He Blew it Out That which was him Every hateful word Spewn out Pierced him. Sorrow in his eyes I wish I had seen then. He was a casual acquaintance A friend of a friend A talented artist I wonder where that Would lead him. I never spoke A hateful word to him Neither did my friend But the damage of a few Destroyed him. Summer of “99” I Learned of the pain He had been in When my friend reached Out Told me of what Had happened. We were little more Than kids then And the blow was hard.
