Shoulders hunch,
chest heaving-
dark eyes glancing towards the exit.
"I loved you."
Clenching fist,
denting eyes
hissing through teeth
Telling sighs,
shoulders slump,
pacing backwards.
"Liar"
Seeking solace,
running to exit-
flooding tears.
The words don't mean a thing.

It is not the words that tell us the truth.

I believe..
that words say alot about a person
but you need to know how to read
between the lines. Learning how to
be a good listener is also key to
understanding your partner.
Couples are good at shooting off at
the mouth but few rarely listen to
what the other has to say.
If your point is that people lie
then yeah! thats true. but then thats
a character flaw and doesn't necessarily
have anything to do with communication
or intimacy.
