Such Horrid Anxiety

I see you are lonely

I can tell from your eyes
They glaze over like mine

So when I'd ask you
Could you not say yes
Whilst you are so benign

What fear then holds me back
Could you ever be unkind

I saw through your eyes
Saw how they'd shun
And lost their glow
Somehow

I know that pain
I know it well
I feel it too
Come now

Would you believe,
What we could conceive
Once we're as one
Don't freeze

When you imagine our kiss
Do you taste heavenly bliss
Or the monstrosity,
Taste of remiss

The thought of tonight
Makes doubt fill my head
Such light relief
Such heavy dread

Would you give yourself
To the likes of me
Are you prepared
To fall

Can you at all
Love such a foil
Or will you flout
Have me crawl

I see you are lonely

I can tell from your eyes
They glaze over like mine

So when I'd ask you
Could you not say yes
Whilst you are so benign

What fear then holds me back
Please don't be unkind

Please
Don't make me crawl
