Under the early morning sky
A thousand questions running through my head
keeping me from slumber
I see her
All the possibilities spread out before me
An endless net of uncertainty
At the center only me
Paralyzed by what could be
Dooming myself by default
Analyzing every twist and turn
Thinking things to death
We play the same game
As far as I can tell
But if I’ve misread the signals
If I’m shooting in the dark again…
Would that hurt more than the rejection?
Get a grip
Time to wrap my insecurities
In a blanket
A mercy killing
For what is life without risk?
Without chance?
Would a possible fleeting pain be worse
Than a sure goodbye?
…likely no.
Sure as the moonlight slips in the window
I must make a move
Before the stillness erases my path
I know EXACTLY where this one came from, and I’m not tellin’. Suffice to say it wouldn’t let me sleep tonight ’til it forced it’s way out of me.
