Fold

She calls me when you've done her wrong
She calls when you can't speak
She calls to tell me all the things
I wish were meant for me,

She falls for all your worn out charm
she'll fall to lift you up
she's fell because you failed her heart
While I've fallen in love,

She sees what you appear to be
But never who you are
Still she looks past me to peek at you
Her eyes adjust but not her heart, 

She'll miss you when you leave today
She'll miss you when you can't make time
But she's missing out on true love
'Cause she's missed all the signs,

So reveal your cards but conceal your heart
love is sweeter left unknown
There's a time for you to go all in
and a time for you to fold

An all too familiar situation. To see someone you love taking the wrong path, and all you can do is wait and be there if their heart gets broken. I keep going to use the word lovely, but that is wrong for your poems, maybe realistic is closer to the mark. Anyway I enjoyed it.
