Words 

Are magic,

Wrapping around your soul,

Burying itself in your heart,

Branching out into your mind.

Words

Are incantations,

Lifting you up and 

Tearing you down

In succession

When listened to.

Words

Are spells,

Failing their master

In the moments

They are needed the most.

Words

Are pain and loss and tears,

They are

Love and success and smiles,

Sunshine and rain,

All bottled up

In unique combinations of

Twenty-six different 

Letters.
