Actions speak louder than words

by Phoenix ¥   Apr 10, 2018


They say actions speak louder than words,
So you obviously don’t want to be heard.
Because those things you don’t do,
They give me a clue,
As to what is truly preferred.

And it’s sad because the things you say,
They make my day,
And then the actions you take
Make my heart break.

Because words are just empty
Without change
And I need some action to stop this pain.
So make yourself heard and do what
is right,
Save us both from another lonely night.

    You have given this line: Actions speak louder than words a heartfelt
    truth. Sometimes actions are good but when they turn negative as its penned
    in your write...then that itself hurts more. Nicely done...take care ~

    what are words when they are not backed up with actions?

    The trouble when this becomes a pattern trust and respect break down. Love, like concrete can withstand so much, but under enough pressure, it will crack in two.

    Nicely done, good rhyming throughout. Actions do speak louder than words. I hope this person steps up and becomes the person they need to be, not just talk-talk.
