She cannot tell when I am lying
She cannot read my tone in a text message
Or see how heart emojis are a thin veil
Or
Rug over a scratch on the floor
She cannot see what I hide
Because I've done it too wellShe cannot know how I feel
Because she doesn't know me well enough to see throughShe cannot understand how I deal with it
Because she's looking from the outside inShe's tells me to tell her anything
That she will listen to it all
I think to myself
That I could never burden you with that
The way you think you do me
Because
Even though I care for her so greatly
I always try to listen
Think how I can help
Reach out
Check up
Seek the underlying truthI cannot see her doing any of this for me
Not that she wouldn't
But because I could
Maybe will
Never let her
And maybe
Just ever so slightly maybe
I like feeling like she sees me as perfect
Like that momentarily washes away everything
Rubs out my mistakes
Puts a new coat of paint over the old
Shows what the manufacturer wantsLike a trailer
Or catalogueShe sees what I want her to see
And
Knows only what she needs to
Its sad that she thinks it's so much more
I want to show it all
But I couldn't do that to my everything
Not her
For now I'll just cup her face and bring it to mine
And every fibre in my body will want to whisper my secrets to her
But I think my lips will betray me and kiss her I read
This romance is probably for the best
She doesn't need these extra things
I send her so many hearts and so much love to overcompensate
But my emotional distance is most likely why
No one of us can move forward
And it leaves up perpetually stuck
Neither one moving back or forewords
So we stand like parallel lines
With hands just holding
Just chapped lips ready to brush one other
Well
Maybe more than that
But
It's more unobtainable than ever now
Forever iconic and ironic though
For she complains to me about fake
Disingenuous birches
Who lack genuine real connections
Not knowing that I am one
Or possibly one with an anomaly
Or perhaps that she's wrong
Either way she is clueless
And I am too but incognito
