So I wrote this poem after something happened with a guy I had a crush on for four years. It's quite depressing, and I wrote it in about 10 minutes while I was crying.
For so long I waited Till courage would arrive For so long I debated Till I thought the feeling could survive
That day that I awaited Had finally come around That phrase that I had stated Sent my hope down to the ground
Was it all the time I waited? Did bravery come too late? I'm sorry my courage was sedated My spirit cold as slate
Maybe they were right I should've answered the call But the age-old Lover's paralyzing fright That I might lose it all
I was ready just to risk it Regret was just too much After that longingly wished for visit My wish was like a crutch
That crutch has since been broken My aspirations never to be reached That statement just a token Of my heart that has been breached
At least I've learned from my mistake To never try again But know this now: my answer was fake I wanted to say yes, way back when
So the battle's finally over Between myself and I My emotions now take cover Behind a smile that's a lie
