Actions speak louder than words
Or so we’re told
Your actions screamed
While your words whispered
Each weighed carefully
And marked down
It was a ledger of sorts
Lies versus truths
Dreams versus nightmares
Joy versus misery
Tally marks on my heart
Promises
Broken vows
And all things in between
Big and small
And at the end,
When the counting was done
Your ledger bled
Red
