You’ve become my mind reader
telling me what you think I’m thinking
while I stand aghast in question
of the disconnectedness of our verbal linking
Perhaps yours is a foreign tongue
indecipherable to all but you
where words get skewed in the translation
So, what is there to do?
It comes out of nowhere
again, hitting me like a brick
and always leaves the sad feeling
that this is one I’ll never lick
You’ve become my mind reader
but, I’ll just let it be
Maybe one day what you think I think
will shed a better light on me

I can completely relate to this sadly. Beautiful poem =)
Thank you for your comments and for visiting my blog.
Brilliant poem, if only we could read each others minds.
That would have good and bad within it
Thank you, Richard. Yes, I agree that it would be a mixed bag.
It doesn’t have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking
Borrowed from the great Pink Floyd.
If we all learnt to communicate our thoughts better?
I am loving hearing peoples poems instead of just reading them, where I often misinterpret the meanings. Hearing a poem helps prevent that, so thanks, I enjoyed.
Thank you, Tino… I am glad you enjoyed… I agree, that hearing the words of a poem does often clarify the meaning behind them, but as my poem shows, sometimes meanings get misconstrued even when heard by the other person.
it’s really difficult when others think they know what we think…love your thread of thoughts here and much like..the disconnectedness of verbal linking…
Thank you for the kind thread of thoughts, Claudia.
oh man…yeah when communication breaks down…its a two way street but when one hears only what they want to…ugh…
Double ugh! Nothing to do but stop talking…. And hope for something better next time.
Those last two lines are fierce!
Thank you for visiting here.
Aww… this can be sooo annoying.. no? Sometimes, there REALLY might be a language…but sometimes, it has nothing to do with language at all… it’s simply different frequencies! Whheeww!!
Wonderfully pictured here, Heartspell… I have been there with some.. and it really got me wondering the importance of a word called “perspective” 🙂
You are right about perspective…..we can at least always change the way WE look at things, even when we meant no harm or ill toward another in the first place and the words just got misconstrued. Thank you, Kavita… I have missed you! 🙂
This is frustrating, when a person really is NOT listening to you…and yet they claim to know exactly what it is you are saying/thinking. I can relate to the words in this poem – actually, it describes my ex-boyfriend perfectly well! lol
Great poem, with a wonderful ending xx
Yes, it is frustratingly sad, because you intended no harm. Thanks for commenting.
Nicely done!
Thank you for coming to my blog to read.
Thank you for posting this. I enjoyed reading it very much. Checking up on peoples poetry and writing is something I do often. I try to keep up with today’s trends so I’m more active in the writing community. Thanks again for sharing this.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
I like WyominingDiva’s take on this…having common thoughts is good…but being told what to think is not.
The difficulty is that the thoughts coming out are not going in to the other person, in the way they were meant. Somehow the meaning becomes twisted from tongue to ears to brain.
As long as this person isn’t telling you WHAT to think. Well written!
My thoughts are my own, but sometimes the interpretation by another is nothing like the original thought…. Therein lies the rub.
