Sonnet 11: What Do You Want

Plaguing my mind, what do you really want?

First, I thought you were looking for someone;

Then you made it clear your heart has been caught;

Then you send me hearts. Am I the dumb one?
_______________________________________

I offer my help since I truly care;

Never offending your relationship,

Even the mere thought, I would never dare,

Yet with woe, my heart is a laden ship:
________________________________

Long and hard, thinking about the best choice,

From a far seemed to me to be the way;

Through texts since I can't bare to hear your voice;

For when I do, in but sweet tears I pay:
________________________________

What I would give to see inside your mind,

Or should I leave your memory behind?
