Infatuation

I said I loved your mind
the rest infatuation
you couldn't be more vague 
or avoiding in conversation 
choosing your words carefully 
when I ask you to reveal 
not trusting me with your feelings 
when I pushed for what was real 

what I read between the lines
faintly resembling truth 
I pretend it's not for me
it's always been about you
does it stroke your ego? 
when you took all that I gave 
my one-sided feelings 
no dues you'll ever pay 

perusing what is left
a thimble not near full
never quite believing 
that it was mostly bull
with alot of understanding
I let you off the hook 
always rewriting chapters
in this well read book
