Actions Speak True

I shrunk, it's true
propped up now
cut off at the knees
I have a DISease
of the mind and the heart
and it's coming out in starts

Trimming off what I can
feel like I was blasted by sand
aching, raw, in front of you
accepting as much as I can

understanding that explanations aren't due
either you're 'preaching to the choir' or 'digging a new rue'
either way - it's you
I decided to accept you as you
no embellishments needed from this band
actions speak true
