Mixed Up

I should have taken the initiative to
Kiss you right then and there, but
I was too scared. Darling, you

Are taking things slow. You strut
Around like you have confidence,
But not in yourself. I am in this rut

With you. We are in this bottomless
Pit and hole. We are two steps forward
And one step back. Your dominance

Is still strong. Darling, you altered
My universe. I will trust and
I will always try to take your word

For it when you miss me. I cannot stand
Here anymore and pretend like I do not
Know you anymore. You have stunned

Me into silence. I cannot take the shot
Or opportunity because I just may
Mess it up. Darling, I have fought

That internal battle many times. They
Do not know everything, but I
Cannot help and wonder if I should stay

Off this path with you. Every half lie
Is a broken promise. There might be
A chance we may not get by

Enough with what we have. We see
The world as unfair, but I still believe
That we should be feeling free.
