Suppose that was a clue of sorts,
Perhaps that was a look?
Did we just share a moment?
Was something I mistook?
Was that a subtle glance my way
Or am I being vain?
But on and on these questions
Circle round and round my brain
It's guesswork
Just guesswork
I wonder if you wonder, and I wonder why I do...
It's guesswork
Only guesswork
I wonder if you wonder if I'm kinda into you
I see you walking through the door
And drift across the room
You end up standing by my chair
But I hate to assume
You're talking to those friends of yours
And I ask 'how are you?'
You chat and sit, but that was it
And I'm returning to...
My guesswork
Good old guesswo
is this what you came for by calliopen, literature
Literature
is this what you came for
a long days night -
my bedsheets are knotted around my shivering skin
there are heartbeats in the walls and
heartbreaks in cracked blinds, windows cracked open eyelashes
tangled shut
i melt into memories of you i dont dare wish out loud
im not supposed to love you anymore, in daylight
you are just fleeting thoughts : but
in silent, holy nights my heart is a liar and
these hands are honest ones
they reach for lingering heat i imagined and fall
empty with longing, i felt what might have been your smile
once
or twice -
but i always come back empty-handed
I put away the words of love
you do not need them anymore
and now I will pretend to be
Exactly as I was before
Pretending, I will laugh and smile
Come nightfall tucked back inside my shell
Silently harboring myself away
To carry on the act another day
I will present you with a gift,
and give your lies back to you
Eternally I'll profess to myself
that it's your turn
to be forever convinced
my love is true.

Important Notice!~ A Free verse Poem
I'll never be your text notification,
I'll never be your snapchat story,
I'll never be on your instagram,
I'll never be your important notice
I wish I could be the one you drew inspiration from on deviantART,
I wish I could be the one you write about on Twitter,
I wish I could be the one that you reblog about on Tumblr
But I know that it'll never happen
Because I'm the update that nobody wants,
I'm the game that nobody ever plays,
I'm the app that's never been touched,
And I'm the blog that's never been seen
I wanted to be your rose gold,
But I was your silver instead
I'm a selfish lout
absorbed in what is comfortable for me
I know this by viewing my realm
this little crumb of land
the Prince of Sloth welcomes me
with half opened eyes
