Here I go . . . again

I read too much in the silences

the words unsaid between the lines

     Can’t you see the heart worn on this sleeve?

Hanging on this thread from your web of indecision

 while you ponder what to take and what to leave.

There was no “quid pro quo” offered,

— no ‘if; thens’ —

…and only I expected otherwise,

       over-thinking things again.
