Melodies & Tales

Care-less

A clumsy foot, a thoughtless step,
A moment's pain, a quick regret.
A simple word, a heartfelt plea,
To mend the hurt, to set things free.

But hearts can bruise, unseen and unknown,
By careless words or a careless tone.
No outward sign nor  visible scar,
Yet pain runs deep and a wound so far.
