Shadows of Words
Words can be louder than actions
but actions speaker truer than words
your words filled me with a bright joy
I kept your words close to my heart
and felt warmed as I replayed them day and night
…but your actions spoke a different story
for the actions filled me with dark sorrow
those actions stole the words from my heart
now the words are gone leaving an empty space
still, I am covered by the shadow of your actions
