Words That Cripple

by clovisacker

Words are nothings; naught but sound in the air. They have no strength, they cannot wound... outwardly. They are as meaningful as you make them, harmful as they happen to be perceived. Burning, slicing... Words have more power than you think. And who would know this better than a certain Danny Fenton?

The words dance across their lips

Like fire

Burning holes in his

Soul

Blackening his

Heart

Unaware of what they're doing

They smile

Teeth made of broken glass

They sneer

Ripping into his

Flesh

Young and vulnerable

He can only

Smile back

Dying on the inside
