weakened by the lack of you
my heart needs to take a step back or two.
my idea of happiness begins and ends with you.
but your frightening downsides
which, like land mines-
create a wisely hesitant mind
that tells me not to take a chance on you.
and god, i've been trying to trust my gut
but every time i see you
my ovaries override and interrupt.
shucks me back into this same old rut
and that's just female luck.
see, i'm to cautious and to conflicted
too self conscious and restricted
and overall i'm afraid you feel inflicted
by my extreme addiction.
