Literal Poetry

 Sometimes I get frustrated that you don't understand me

Because I might very well be the most literal person you know... 

I said "I love you", I then said "I want you." 

And that is exactly what I meant. 

There is no hidden interpretation. 

That is all! 

Quite literally! 

Why do you make impossible knots of things? 

And then dissect the ropes that form them to examine the conditions of those knots 

I love you for it but it also aggravates me! 

Your confusion ultimately confuses me 

And because I also have ADHD 

My confusion then gives me anxiety 

And my anxiety is what aggravates me

I'm sorry but I think you think I am complicated and you are right. 

I am. 

But the thing is.... I'm not... Not for you. 

I'm complicated for them all but... 

For you I am an open book. 

Come, I will make tea 

Ask away, you'll see how simple it all is 

I am just a woman

The night will pass like a breeze 

I promise we will either never stop talking 

Or

We will just speak silently 

If you are here, there is nothing more for me to know 

I must look like a fool, dreaming of you being here when you've slammed that door on my face 

Hundreds of times 

But think of me whatever you want 

Say I am a fool, so what... 

I do dream of you being here... 

That is the truth. 

I do...! 

And whenever you decide to come 

If you ever do

I will open my door for you. 

I will never treat you like you treated me. 

Never. 

Why do you think that is... 

Hmmm... 

Oh no... I hope this won't confuse you further! Please forget it! 

We don't need more impossible knots! 

Just come for some tea.... Forget anything else! 

I doubt you ever will... 

But I am here... 

I hope you know that. 

Come and ask away! I will answer every question you have! Anything! I promise!!! 

Just come here... 

I wish you would, and I know you won't. 

I wish it was as simple for you as it is for me... 

I'm sorry it's not... 

😞🥹

Will you ever come...? 

Ever..........?
