Theatrics
I'm enjoying your theatrics
How you fake it with such flair
Pretend that don't see me
Act like I'm not there
I hear your cackling giggle
With exaggerated smile
A show of pure contentment
Play acting all the while.
I'm not your target audience
Don't buy your reverie
I feel your eyes across the room
Burning, watching me
I know that you're aching
Choking with desire
Dreaming of my mouth, my touch
Your body is on fire
I'm afraid you're breaking character
Lusting into rage
You shake and sweat from passion
Time to leave the stage
You wanted this remember?
You needed to be free
Had to view your options
You'd be settling with me
So continue with your monologue
You're quite the one man show
You're convincing everyone but me
I see you and I know
