Get The Hint? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If you read my words,
You wouldn't have to ask
What it is I meant.

If, indeed, you say you understand...
What you confess to me makes little sense.

If one comprehends,
A flow that is out of the box.
Where does the conflict begin to start?
If you say you understand,
With your head and heart!

If you read my words,
You wouldn't have to ask
What it is I meant.

Unless you are seeking more from me?
Like if I brush my teeth,
With regular toothpaste...
Or if it is scented with mint!
Since nothing else you have said thus far,
Does not entice me to ask you...
To move in with me and share paying my rent.

It you are reading my words,
You should know by now...
Being alone to me is not lonely!
And my peace of mind has been heaven sent.
Get the hint?
