Wise

I despise adoring you
I hate checking messages to see if you recall me at all
Checking email to see if perhaps you've written
(When I know I am bullshitting even myself at that point!)
I loathe knowing that
With nary a look into my eyes
You've rendered me
Interested.

Because--as those of you playing the home game know all too well-
"interested" for a woman is something far more deadlier than the subtle interest of men
Oh no, boys, when I am interested, I assure you
I am raptured
I am taken
You've got me, you sorry son of a bitch, and you know it.
Forget "showing my hand"
Hell, all the cards in the world are flat in your face now.
(Good God, let's just have you crawl into bed and sleep with me right now
So that we can get to the part where you never call back, already!)
I hate it.  I laugh as I write it, because I love it, but I hate it, and don't doubt that I do!

And this is the essence of life and love, isn't it?
This is the part where my heart became so battle-scarred
That it became wise.
