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
