I wish I could give you
more reasons to love me
but I am sorely lacking
in that department
.
I wish you could see me
the way I see the flowers
but I am sadly hidden
behind fraudulence
.
I wish I could tell you
how my love for you grows
but I am fully consumed
with fear of rejection
.
I wish you could consume me
like the waves eat the shoreline
but I am surely no source
of any nutrition for your soul
