Read My Mind

My words of a lover
Answered by those of a friend
She smiles as she offers
Innocent conversation
Am I sure? She asks if it's okay
What did she think I'd say?
Who does she think I am? In the moment, her
Words mean more than

The bliss of my ignorance, cognitive dissonance
It can't be that she can't be mine
Couldn't she read my mind?

She stays so oblivious
I act against my own interests
I find I'm starting to struggle
Feigning my disinterest
(Self-inflicted, never worth it)
Probe more, how did she meet him?
Block four, I wish I could see them
Flirting and having the time of their lives
I choose to wilt while they start to thrive

My blood pumps in gallons, my stomach jolts out of place
But a smile stays planted on my face
I fake I'm fine
Couldn't she read my mind?
