Maybe

Maybe I should stay away
remain demure and hidden
secret and questioning
treading lightly and
moving forward carefully
make sure not to step on
any toes

maybe I should be more bold
become aggressive
leave caution in the past
make my curiousity the baseline
of forward movement
and jump in
without hesitation

he is confusing me

The signals are crossed
the codes are faded
the sign is blurred
the unspoken barely suggested

does he want me to
come forward?
would he prefer we
maintain the question?

either way I turn
the resulting pain is imminent
the thrill can only be
momentary
maybe the easiest solution
is to just
walk away
maybe...
