I can't read you unlike all of the books I have shelved in the den or the pages of the magazine I eagerly grab from the newstand I can't read you can't figure out if it is what I said or what I didn't say that makes you turn from me I can't read you can't decide if an apology would suffice or if me taking the blame has been the problem all along can't determine whether my tone has set you off, prompting you to walk away and leave me in silence or if it is my inability to comfort you at the slightest sign that you need it unlike this newspaper resting on my knee I can't read you and as you stare at me now,livid, waiting for my response to a question you never bothered to ask.... I flip to my favorite section realizing I shouldn't have to |
