You toss the word around loosely
like it means something to you
but your actions ring louder
than your uttered words do
so please don't waste time saying it
because you like hearing it spoke
it no longer holds truth
when to you, it's merely a joke;
while trying to cling to
what's already been lost

but you never expected to pay
such a very high cost.

Don't bother expressing
words not conveyed true
they no longer mean anything
when I hear them spoken by you.


No more hangin' on to the past
No more filling up my tomorrows
With yesterday's sorrows
No more lookin' over my shoulder {T.Tritt}

They say a man is as good as his word, so his word best ring true!
Like yourself, I believe the true measure of a man is by his actions.

Actions do speak louder than words!

Hugs to you, Dear Donna,

I have always heard, "Action Does Speak Louder Than Words". I have heard alot of words, but the action never matched the words.

Hi Donna

It is so easy for a poet to get caught up in the silken fabic of words and find it not as strong as thought.  That hurts.

I needed this tonight.

Funny how that happens
Drawn to the words that we seek

We are moths drawn to a light
of the truth we seek

Maybe.
