Why do you use such gentle words?

Why do you use such gentle words?
Oh my love; my sweet
rooms so dark; hushed silence of the night
You made me smile with words so light
But when all is done and packed away
Your gentle words hurt me

Why use words so gentle?
They don't soften the blow
the cracks go deeper than before
Destroying you; rotting your core
Your gentle words hurt me

Where's the allure in gentle words?
You think they make you the better man?
Caress my heart with your kind pretence
you play make believe, at whose expense?
Your gentle words hurt me

Why do you use such gentle words?
You're the enemy; my sweet
When all is done and packed away
Your gentle words hurt me
