Up to you I would make,
I want to gently touch your skin,
But I’m afraid you’ll throw affection in the bin.

I’m scared you’ll turn away,
Then with loneliness I’d have to stay,
Alone in the shadows with my frown,
Wearing pain as my only available gown.

I look at your sleepy, troubled brow,
Wanting to put everything right some how,
But I am terrified of rejection,
Waiting in fear of hurts resurrection.

You look so close yet feel so far,
Inside I feel heartaches newest scar,
I wish you to wake, but also to not,
As I think your love you might just blot.

You’re the only man alive in my heart,
Yet I am fearful you will depart,
From my soul & from my arms,
Leaving me naked to life’s cruel harms.

I reach out my hand but take it back,
As I’m scared your love might just crack,
I look over at you & my heart skips a beat,
My heart lays in hope that again in love we will meet.

I love this poem. I feel the same way after I have fought with my boyfriend. I also like that this is all writted in couplets, unifies the poem as a whole.
