I should have listened to the ACTIONS.

I once knew someone who when they spoke would mesmerize me by their words to a point I felt nearly speechless and all I could think, and what I said was, "I do love when you say words." 

Then, slowly the words came less and less. Communication lost priority, and in the midst of falling away from one another; feelings were hurt, misunderstandings ensued, miscommunications took place, assumptions that I happen to know on at least one side - and possibly both at times? Were wildly inaccurate had been made, and damage was done. 

Within months the person that once mesmerized me with his words, shattered me, intentionally. With precision and aim - each targeting my heart and crushing my soul. I couldn't even believe the side of the person I was seeing. It was as if everything he knew about me had been stored within his own head, heart and soul with the only purpose being, in case he wanted to hurt me. 

Carefully chosen attacks, on who I was as a person, my struggles in life, the things I prided myself in having grown, changed and overcome. Each word a dagger. 

My mom was wrong, sticks and stones may break your bones - but words can scar for lifetime.

Choose yours carefully.
