Mind Reading

I need to be free of your thoughts.
I cherish the mystery of your love.

When we were us, your thoughts were simple.
Now they contradict your words.

When we were us, I didn't mind those thoughts.
Now I read your mind every day.

Its funny how I never thought to be a mind reader before.

Maybe it's because I didn't have to.
You would gladly offer your real thoughts.

Now I search and scramble for scraps. The thoughts every mind reader can see.

But I promise today to stop reading those thoughts.

Today, I will leave myself with the thoughts of my own and my friends.

Your thoughts are on standby, there, but I blocked them from my mind.

You are more than my friend, still, but I unfollowed your thoughts.

When my mind wants to read your thoughts, ill have the self control, as I promised myself before and quickly broke.

But this time it'll be real.

Though, I hope you read my thoughts. They're real. They're simple. The same.

If you want to mind read, don't forget to add to the brain.
