Sauces

We took to walking 'til our feet bled,
took to walking until all you said
were brief 'I love you's' through
dehydrated mind.
Clock stopped - no sense of time.

We took to biting 'til we could not breathe,
took to scratching until we could not see
the lines that blurred between 'hate' and 'love'
but there was nothing else to do 
but wait.

For the shortest second I forgot that was there,
forgot the disappointed looks and the
vacant stares
when you're down and I speak too little or too much -
actions speak louder than words.
