Why is it that words said in anger hurt so much?

Why is it that words said with love can be so easily forgotten?

Why is it that when anger takes hold, no tenderness, no love, no reason can get thru?

Why is it that words spoken in anger come at one like bullets, bricks and knives?

Why is it?

Does nothing mean anything when red is all that is seen?

Why is it that when the one who said those words "take it back" nothing really gets taken back?

Why does anger make people loose themselves?

Why does the one hurt left feeling like they did wrong?

Does it matter?

Does anything?

There is so much love in this world, so many beautiful things and yet there is the exact opposite here as well.
