Actions

Nothing I do
Works for you
Nothing I say
Changes your ways
 
Time alone
Is all that's needed
Never too much
To spend with self
 
Actions speak volumes
What's really going on
Just when I think I got it
It got me
 
Bending me
Breaking me
Tears of near unbearable pain
Wondering what really is
 
No understanding
No sympathy
No caring
No empathy
 
Caring requires commitment
Caring requires movement
Caring requires availability  
Caring requires vulnerability  
 
Imprisoned in one's own skin
Can't figure it out
Want in - Want out
Can't move
 
Merry-go-round syndrome
Whence it came
Where it goes
No one really knows
 
Actions and non-actions
Always louder than words
Need not say more
Do you want let go?
