READ MY MIND

3

i'm not paying any
attention to
whatever he's saying to me.
it's not that important,
it's not that funny,
i don't care.
he wants so badly
to be needed,
but i don't need him
and he can't stand the idea.
he's fabricated a version of me
that doesn’t exist.
in his head,
i have hearts in my eyes,
i hang on every word
he says.
but all i was looking for
was something to fuck,
no strings.
