Here I wait
I sit with such reticence and wait for my time,
I step out on faith only to be unsure,
I see your face filled with such nuance,
With the look of just not knowing.
I want to reach out and touch you,
But I’m afraid I’ll get hurt,
See I have led a life full of nostalgia,
Because I tend to be afraid of anything new.
I have been wronged so many times,
That my blood flows freely with rage,
I’m a ticking time bomb, and anything can set me off.
I am one with many predilections,
But always yearning for what’s different.
Life is already preconcerted,
It’s not always what you make it.
Yet you are voracious,
And I give freely.
Will you gladly accept or gladly take advantage?
See I’m not sure that I completely know you,
It’s this feeling held deep inside that I cannot shake,
But only time will tell what’s to come,
So here I wait.
