Mind Reading

Do you think I have no heart?

Beating in my chest

No mind of my own

No logic that makes sense

 

I’m tired of the games

The mind bending arguing

The Questions and What if’s

 

There is one who could fix these things

Mend my broken mind

But he seems to be failing

Falling ever father behind

 

As I lay here screaming

Gasping for air

He seems to turn the other cheek

Without the slightest care

 

The substance that I need

Is only you my dear

But slowly

Oh so slowly

I’m starving for attention

The love I need and fear

But everythings ok

My darling

We’ll all just assume

It’s me you want and need

It's me you need to consume

 

But I’m afraid dear love,

That none can read your mind

 

Especially not me

This trick’s been lost in time

 

So show me darling

How you love and care

 

So I don’t keep grasping

What isn’t even there.

Wow, that was impressive, I'm glad I found this.

''Falling ever father behind''

This could be a touch of genious if the typo was made on purpose. I would suggest to never correct this if it was not done volountarily.

Good flow, sweet rhyme scheme.
