Why do you keep me
At a distance?
Is there a reason our meetings
Are few and far between?
Are you afraid like
I am To feel for another?
Do you care about me at all
Or I do I mean nothing?
Is this a game to you
Where I am just the pawn?
Why can't I find the words
To tell you how I feel?
Why can't I get this all out
And have my questions answered?
