Something Unrevealed Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If there was an interest,
You would express fresh questions.
You'd wish to know something new.
Something unrevealed between me and you.

If there was an interest,
We'd both be on our best behavior.
Trying to impress.
And displaying a happiness.

But what we have here is a competition.
A game of some kind...
To seek ways to undermine.

And my sole purpose with you,
Is to establish a meaningful relationship!
One for the long haul.
And not one pursued to unhitch and undo.
