too much grief for a lifetime

Sometimes we have no idea what we do to each other with words. Things spoken out of spite, contempt, and sometimes grief. So today, I spoke with grief and you spoke with conviction. Words are what we use to inflict mindless damage at times. Used as a weapon, as an arm of your thoughts. To facilitate and manipulate an outcome. How can I be happy, when I walked out of your life like that. Merely a page flipped, a love lost, and a friend long gone.
