Let’s keep things in perspective

Let’s keep things in perspective

A Poem by COLLYMORE
"

It's not the theatrical gestures that matter in any relationship but the substance of what is actually done.

"

By Stanley Collymore

 

Don’t overdo it when you say you love

me, as I don’t want a performance

of any kind; instead, let your

actions serve as your mouthpiece,

for that’s the language I understand far

better than any number of fancy words

which say nothing and mean even

less in actuality, because when

looked at carefully they’re

so absolutely absurd.
