Mixed Signals

The way his perfectly messy hair 
falls upon the back of his head
with his breathtaking smile
that knocks me dead.

He could captivate a crowd
with just his dimples and laugh,
but you couldn't understand
from just a photograph.

He texts me once,
he calls me twice,
always checking up on me,
and always ready with advice.

He acts like he cares,
he asks about my day. 
Little did I know
he would eventually send me away.

We'll talk one day,
and we won't the next.
And after two months without talking,
I'll wake up to a text.

"How are you?" he'll say
as if we'd talked the day before.
The inconsistence is painful.
I can't take it anymore. 

Mixed signals are tough,
How am I supposed to know
whether you like me or not?
Just tell me so I can go.

I feel like I'm trapped.
But when I try to move on, 
he doesn't leave me alone,
it seems like he'll never be gone. 

He tells me I'm his "Dream Girl"
but won't show me to his friends
He tells me he wants me
but says I'm a "nine" not a "ten".

It's been four months now,
without a single call or text,
and I guess he has a new girlfriend,
but who knows what will happen next.

Lauren,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
