I’m so sorry
You ever liked me
More than just a friend
Because it’s wrong,
Plain wrong
To put you
And your feelings
On the pile.
Am I really
Shallow and conniving?
I want someone to love.
Where do I go wrong?
It’s all or nothing.
Where’s the middle?
Then I get scared
To open up to someone.
I’m so afraid it’s
Silly.
Then why don’t I feel like
Laughing?
