Not Like That

Submitted by Imperial Affliction on Sun, 05/20/2012 - 4:13pm

I'm a bitch, I know.

Just say it.

I can see all your feelings laid out

like cards on a fold-out table:

the feelings I thought were mutual,

only to realize that my own brain was sending me

mixed signals.

My own addled,

troubled,

lonely brain;

thought it was healed

and tried to jump back into the game.

I am sorry,

I apologize,

I implore you to stay close,

But no.

Not like that.

I was wrong.

Not like that.
