Waitress Waiting

What you see is false
The love and affection is nothing more than a ploy
A false joy to confuse the customer
Flirtation is deceived for attraction
Causing heartbreak after a meal
I misinterpret how you feel
I can’t fault you for doing your job
If I ask I know I’ll be the town fool
If you are kind you’ll let me down easy
Pretend that it is a possibility – but I know I’m just a tool
Teasing and pretending is how you have to be: hostessing
But I know I’ll always be waiting
