Nonchalant
Defined as feeling
casually calm or relaxed, or appearing as so…
Not displaying anxiety,
interest, or enthusiasm; been that way for decades…
Good with you or without
you; truth, but not something I want you to know…
Stretch the truth;
provide some proof of being the best choice you ever made…
Express my interest,
develop the love you can’t resist; Begin to believe I need you…
But the need is a
strong want; either way it goes the love and hurt will fade…
That’s the intention,
whole point of being nonchalant is hiding what’s actually true…
I see how this sounds
and I’m aware of the fact that this is a double-edged blade…
Yet I remain
nonchalant, protecting myself from further shame…
I love you, there’s no
reservation or ability for you to be replaced…
The place I have in my
heart for you is more than just reserved space…
The reason for the
space goes beyond the attraction to your face…
Or the attraction to
your body that my hands manage to embrace…
Your voice is an
enchantment, begging me to bend the knee…
Not necessarily for
marriage, mostly declaration that you’re my Queen…
Fear and complacency
are my biggest enemies, birthing the anger inside of me…
Lashing out when mad with
pokes along the way, away from where I want to be…
Leaving me in disarray,
leaving feeling pain and a level of shame I felt I couldn’t reach…
What do you mean that’s
how I feel? What?
Where did I say that?
What?
Why did you ignore the
other parts? What?
When were we going to
talk about the rest? What?
Who even said that?
That’s not what I meant… What?
How you draw that
conclusion? It doesn’t even compute… What?
A breakdown in
communication; the conversation turns to frustration…
All because of a misunderstanding,
6 questions lobbed between us as frustration turns to anger…
Yet, I’m still
nonchalantly looking at the way things are…
Nonchalantly wishing
that things never went so wrong…
Nonchalantly listening
to how I took things too far…
Finger fucking my phone,
mostly on Twitter for way too long…
Jumping at each
notification, wishing it was you reemerging as my star…
The silence becomes deafening,
but without the oxy I’m nothing but a moron…
Striving to stay strong
as I nonchalantly prepare for everything to change…
Nonchalantly I cry; nonchalantly I try to forget; nonchalantly I conclude that maybe I underestimated how much I needed you…
