The Snake of Words

For every word,
there is a stone.
For every stone,
there is a tear.
For every tear,
there is a fear,
a fear that deepens with every word.
Its a never ending cycle. ARTIST: Amanda Faris
Even when one thinks it is done,
It creeps up on them.
Like a snake in the water,
it stalks its next unsuspecting victim.
And with the intensity of a thousand volts,
it strikes.
And aims for the kill.
Not a life does it kill,
but a friendship,
or a bond.
Even the strongest of ties
cannot withstand its powerful jaws.
And resistance is futile. ARTIST: Amanda Faris
You can run. ARTIST: Amanda Faris
You can hide.
But eventually,
you have to stop.
And the only thing to do,
is to face it head on.
No matter the affects of the attack.
No matter what you leave behind.
Eventually,
Courage,
Pride,
Strength,
It wont be enough.
One day,
it will engulf you.
One day,
you will loose.
And that snake will take
the one thing you love most.
A freindship,
And your happiness.

Don’t let your snake bite. ARTIST: Amanda Faris
