Does my intensity bother you?
Does my longing make you step back and wonder why?
Do my words choke off yours?
Would you prefer the coy, make believe of convention,
Or have I not understood you at all.
Am I projecting my desires onto you?
And are you being a mirror, when it suits you,
Turning on the charm at will, or turning away,
To keep me wanting and waiting.
Or is my soul mistaken that what we share is special,
And what lies ahead, a barren desert of wilted desires.
Tortured soul, questions abound, soundlessly fall away,
Do you hear, will you answer,
And what will your hearts' desire be.
