Actions Not Words
I once adored a man with a hairy chest
Inked with swallows and the phrase -
FACTA NON VERBA.
He told me the translation.
I had studied Latin for three years and knew
The correct pronunciation.
I didn't have a chance to overthink it.
He looked so good on top of me.
To spare his ego,
I did not explain
Why so many years went by without speaking.
So cold I was.
So uncaring.
Words have meaning—even in absence.
Actions have consequences—even those thoughtless.
I didn't want him to regret his nice tattoo.
