Actions Speak Louder Than Words

In the blink of an eye and remorse far away
Your wavering heart blistered away my loving years

Your verbal pleasantries seem to mock 
Your artful facade with a serpentine sting

In the beatific moments your need was me
We spent lucid loving hours spent at comfortable ease

New beginnings became easy with me to shield
You climbed my inherited ladders in splendid guise 

I spruced the hearth and kept it warm with crystalline cheer 
Your  eyes, I fear, I couldn't fathom as I tucked our babes to bed

Now you fumble with your deceitful heart to temper me
When unchartered hours were gambled away with a seductive lass 

Trust exploded in my rose quartz heart 
When I saw you two cooing by mere accident

Your pitched frequency of dilly dallying
No more resonates with my simplicity

Our winsome fairy tale has ended
And your wilful satiric tale has begun

The charisma of ethereal love is poised on
Drooling actions and not on banal promises
