There is a girl I am afraid to approach.

What indecision grips me.
What tidings take me.
What dreams forsake me.
What concerns overtake me.
Her thought, her face, the thought of her embrace.
To see what you want and be too afraid to get it.
To know what you need and outside this darkened pit.
What slanderous emotions fill my mind.
What negative outcomes fill my time.
I wait and see if she will say one more thing.
To see if she would make my heart sing.
My heart knows as does my head.
But my fear causes my courage to be dead.
Why oh why do I care so much?
Only with risk can our feelings trust.
So still I hold my heart withdrawn.
And see if in her eyes I am fond.

    I liked it! It did seem to kind of flow to me. I think that in most guy’s lifetime they have these very thoughts. I know I did!Actually, they should count themselves lucky to at least experience and have had these thoughts at least once. Well said!

    Yes! Very true. I read it once more and my first comment was way of base. Gets to the heart.
    You are to be a #1 on my list of writers. Keep them coming, I will also be writing some new mat.
    Check it out and let me know even if its harsh. even as writer, I tend to be slow at getting the point.

    Very Nice! It’s good to put yourself out there. Your best stuff can come from that.
