Three words

Three words
three words softly spoken
and nothing else matters
washing sits in a heap
last nights dishes overflow
your bed still warm, unmade
bed clothes dishevelled
like you were already fighting the enemy
while you slept
three small words
one that sticks out
why life must be so cruel
why mountains
are unreachable
steep rocks
cavernous
obstacles
all for these three words
that changed a life
challenge your life
and make you look out for the bigger things
for the rainbow
for the light
and all those cliches'
you never had reason to think of before
but now you cling to
