RHYME Poem: Confusion, by Corinne Wagner

What do you want, from me, from this, for you?
What are you looking for, you hopeless man?
Have you not thought what you might be forced to?
Was it your heart that made this silly plan?

You try to be subtle, attempt to flirt,
Make your comments and pretend that you joke.
I may not know much, but I am alert
Of actions and words that you so evoke.

It is no good that my own actions might
Confuse you that I might feel the same way.
It is not mutual, to put it light.
Apologies if you thought that I may.

And yet when the alarm bells go to sing
The restaurant we left hits with a ding.
