Hypothetical Delicacies



I hope I don't come off as something you can easily replicate,
Because I wouldn't want you seeing anything but what's in front of you.

I know you feel timid in the moment, but not in me. I can see,
For I have been here before too, and I watched more closely than you.

Your mind is, for the most part, made up in the first five seconds,
But beyond that cliché is someone who I find keeps coming back.

Because, when have you honestly ever known what you've wanted?
Your decisions reveal what you lack; so hesitant on getting back.

It's for much similar reasons people find themselves reopening the fridge,
And almost every time so simply glance past what's inside it.

Should I ask what you expect to find with all of your blank stares?
When you're far too stubborn to admit, it goes to show what's to come of this.
