Love Poem: Theatrics

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
