perspective vs communication

half-truths and misunderstandings,  
full thoughts and hurt feelings.  
fear of rejection and living in my ego,  
standing in your pride and burying your pain.  
 
did you feel my implications?  
did I hear your hurt?  
 
did you see my need for recognition?  
did I think about your exclusion?  
 
did you know I was looking for your attention?  
did I know you thought I was playing games?  
 
did my silence tell you I didn't want to see you and you weren't good enough?  
did yours tell me you didn't want me and I wasn't worth it?  
 
did my attempt at enticing you in, push you further away?  
did I lose you?  
 
I put my fears from the world onto you,  
and it feels like you put the fears of your past onto me.  
the world has taught me I can't trust you,  
while women have taught you not to trust me.  
 
I say no more.  
 
"I see you; you see me,  
so simply pretending is too high a fee."  
 
perspective is key,  
but communication is the answer.  
come home to me,  
and I'll be the happiest dancer.
