Actions speak louder than words
Not when words are meant to hurt
To sting, to leave an imprint
Actions fade into the background
When words are loud enough
Hurt people hurt people
Hurt people say hurtful words
Bringing more hurt - a hurtful cycle
Stops only when hurt heals
How does hurt heal?
Is it words or action?
Can healing words heal the hurt?
Or do they just sting the wound
Should be actions then
Maybe that’s how they're really loud
But actions are in the future
Can the present borrow some healing
From the future, when actions shout
Maybe just a whisper right now
Spoken with words meant to heal
That should work, should heal the heart right away
If it doesn't, then there is always time
Words sink in with time
Actions grow louder
So it’s time that’s the loudest
Time — the great healer
Until it runs out
Leaving the wound open forever
