Three Words

That burning, tearing feeling
Your heart is screaming, your head too tired to speak.
Head spinning, face red, biting at your nail,
One smile, two steps, three words.
Silence, stillness, and your blood turns pale.

That freezing, ripping feeling
Your heart is quiet, your head says 'I told you so'.
Heart broken, complexion white, smacking yourself in the face,
One apology, two looks, three weeks apart.
Silence, stillness, and your heart fades to gray.

That cold, numb feeling
Your heart senseless, your head finally taking control.
Emotions scarred, clothing dark, after the surrender,
Three words, two steps, one mistake.
Silence, stillness, and your life can change forever.
