Mixed Signals

Can we still be friends?
When I’ve disorientated you entirely,
Made you sick with anticipation of what could be
When I’ve told you one thing, my body showing another
My mind thinking something else, yet nothing at all
Unable to understand what it wants, but expected to know

Can we be as we were?
Even though I confused your mind and heart
Leading both to their woeful destruction
Direct conversation avoided as though honesty were a plague
We tip toed around our thoughts, hiding from each others signals

Can you let it go?
The pain inflicted by my stilted, conflicted tongue
Which did not reveal what should have been said at the beginning
I’m sorry I kept all hidden for so long, I wanted to speak sooner
I wish I could have forced the words out, formed them against any will

Can you forget last night?
The truth hurt you, I shouldn’t have held you
I know that now, it screwed us both up
It came to an ugly head, but at least now you know
Better late then never, am I right?

Where do we go from here?
Can we both learn from this?
Can we stop it being repeated?
I hope so
