Words and Actions

Whispered promises fade in the night

Shadows of truth in fading light

You played your part with a silver tongue

Sweet melodies that left me numb

But your actions told a different story

A silent wound, a faded glory

Had me captivated, spellbound by your words

Left me stranded, missing what I'd heard

You had me with your words, and lost me with your actions

Built me up with hope, then changed the reactions

Promises whisper soft, but they don't mean a thing

It's the truth in your actions that makes my heart sing

Trust was a fragile paper plane

Fell apart with the slightest rain

Now I see through the disguise

Truth reflected in your eyes

Words could lift me, but actions break

Love's a gamble, make no mistake

Hold your words, but prove your part

Actions heal or tear apart
