Cold Words
Charles David Sharp
Continues after the ad
Who could believe I turned you on
Checking recordings on my phone
I heard you slinging sticks and stones
Cold words roll like water off of down
Over the heart now harder than granite
Over the heart now strengthened with pain
Quite as the death of some distant planet
Unnoticed as tears in the rain
Some shallow words you once sent me
Said you'd be mine eternally
Now, lifeless as a winter leaf
Cold words roll like water off of down
Over the heart now harder than granite
Over the heart now strengthened with pain
Quite as the death of some distant planet
Unnoticed as tears in the rain
