Double meanings to singular words

Double meanings to singular words
leaves a multitude of "what did you mean"s
Not my fault that Estella runs through my veins
Your great expectations superceded the actual
and you fell, face first at my feet, again
I never promised afternoons and coffee spoons
so your tears can water my roses instead of staining my shoes
You traveled the west but you did not conquer it
Venus de Gallo can not run free
and man has predestined her to be chained for all eternity
Men keep creating beauty but can never behold it
Because he only sees his work and not the creation
Emerging, on its own, from the slips of the chisel
You felt mislead but I wasn't leading
I was callously watching you try and navigate through a maze
I stopped you before you went any further
Because it stopped being fun.
You weren't laughing
Even though I was smirking.
