Mine

You look at me like you

want to be with me, but

you are so scared that you

don't actually say that.


You always leave a clue,

hinting that there's a way.

I don't know what to do.

You don't know what to say.


If you don't ever change,

and forever remain,

we will never exchange

words our feelings sustain.


There's nothing to cling to

unless we can confide

in each other what's true:

the love we have inside.


Minutes, hours, pass away.

Why are you in fear of

what you're keeping at bay,

your true unspoken love?


Your heart beats faster as

an obvious betrayal

by your chest and tell us

of your fake portrayal.


You keep changing your mind.

I keep getting confused.

I wish you'd be so kind

not to leave my heart bruised.


I look at you like I

want to be with you, but

I'm getting so scared, I

don't actually say that.


Free verse.
