Feeding Me Words

By Karyn Indursky

You need to back off with your words. 
I've heard them a million times by others. 
They didn't and don't live up to what they had to 
and do say. 
I don't know if your words ring true, yet. 
Maybe, I never will, but neither of us is going 
to know if I can trust you if you don't show me 
instead of just saying what you think or know 
or feel or sense or acknowledge that I want 
to hear. 
You need to be yourself instead of 
feeding me words.
