Thank You For Your Patronage

Pulling on my strings,
I can see you mean
more than anything, to me.
And treasure all these times
not even these times,
but more like your mere gestures...
and pre-planning.

I'm definitely you,
and you're possibly me,
but I can't tell the truth
when I'm around you.
...You're like the opposite of a lie detector.
Truth, escapes you...and me.

So I slip into your loose,
trivial and sleuth,
sliding past the noose,
when I'm your hangman.
This game is a puzzle.

And I'll just keep rattling off
these silly rhymes and things...
until you realize what this means.
It means I love you.
It means I can't find the proper wording...
It means I'm no word-smith,
when it comes to loving you...
I'm painful and confused...
The words just come in sputtering and
knocking.

But I think you understand it...
or at least you pretend...and...

I thank you for your patronage.
