Your eyes are dark pools, scanning my soul. <br />Can so easily be lost in their depth if I wasn't alert. <br />Under your gaze I tremble to give away feelings that you might not wish to return. <br /> <br />I run before I'm pinned to the wall behind me <br />You gaze dares me to stay <br />Hey you scare me <br />Never sure how you feel, <br />I run for fear of being caught wanting <br /> <br />Your standards are high, <br />mine are higher <br />Scared still of not making the grade <br />yet fear more that you don't <br /> <br />I know you not <br />Yet love you I do <br />It's the liking part that bothers me <br /> <br />Do you constantly test me <br />Who are you when you're not acting <br />would I like you if I knew you? <br /> <br />Let me know you, we can only but try. <br />Life is too short to play these silly games. <br />Too long to wait forever <br />Cut the crap and let me in <br />I treasure you so let me learn to give you what you need.<br /><br />Holly Moon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-battle-is-acceptance-life-is-for-loving/
