Misconstrued

Words -
carelessly chosen and thoughtlessly thrown -
from heart to wounded heart are aimed.
An arsenal endlessly supplied endlessly flows with
acidic diatribes masked by a smile while
sweet sentiments hide deep darkness and deceive ears which capture them.
Those unspoken as bitter as friendships lost
while claimed good intentions hinder understanding.
Misspoken -
Misunderstood -
Misconstrued -
words like stones fall on open wounds and vulnerable souls,
breaking hearts under the burden of sin.
Tears fall and words fail,
Sleep lost while memories last of times before the truth -
before understanding -
before realization -
before enlightenment of a concealed and hurtful soul.
Truth is elusive and confidence fades when words change, intercepted and allowed to fly without inhibition from wounded heart to wounded heart.
A Tower between us - words convoluted, twisted, warped from mouth to ear.
Understanding impossible without vision or care.
Without understanding we choose carelessly and throw thoughtlessly the words equipped to destroy.
