Scared to Love You

the touch of your hands

sends chills

through

my already cold heart

I know how easy it is

for you to

warm it

but

I can't let you

know

how much

I

need

    you

       to

         make

             me

hot

it's not my nature to

like these things

happiness

laughter

your love

running through me

like

   beer

it's too much for me

to

feel

   so

     good

I want to

but

I am too damn

depressed

anxious

ashamed

for loving you so much

for wanting you

so

much

it's still so damn

scary

unbelievable

that you would want me

the way you want me

the way I want

you

  and

     still...

                I do

I really really enjoyed this. I really enjoy your style of writing... How it just seems to flow. If I'm not mistaken, the woman in this poem is getting married... It's wonderful how you put all these thoughts down... As if she were second-guessing everything. Anyways, I loved it... Thought I'd say so :)
