• What is it about the mixed messages lovers send
    That cause awkward situations that neither person can mend?
    It’s not as if they don’t know the consequences of their actions
    They know.
    Are lovers a bunch of sadists who simply enjoy
    Creating bouts of confusion
    Shooting jagged ammunition
    At the threads of self-esteem
    Stepping upon his open heart
    Before he can step on hers
    Purposely tearing down her mind
    So he won’t appear hurt by her words
    Playing a blind man’s game of hide-and-go-seek
    To prove they are stronger than one another…
    Only to show the world that they are both weak
    And for what?
    An act of desperation
    To love and be loved
    Yet both partners refuse to put down the gloves
    Making the choice to keep dancing around the ring
    Instead of sitting down and saying meaningful things
    Until both she and he “no longer see eye to eye”
    Until both you and I “are better off as friends”
    Or they say “I’m not that into you.”
    Hm.
    Amazing how the laws of misinterpretation
    Seem to be the cancer of love.
