careless words

they come flying out of your mouth...
you desperately wish and try to pull them back...
it's too late.

yesterday i once again was able to experience the pain that careless and angry words can cause. what takes just a moment to say takes an exceedingly great amount of time to fix.

one of these days i'll learn this lesson, until then, i'm doomed to repeat it. scary and unpleasant thought. one of those times that i wish for heaven, to be done with the less desireable sides of me. another live and learn experience. Lord help me.
