Shy

*

Her hand brushes

against my own

my mind screams

louder than even

the most horrific

of bombs to

hold it back

to close those

last few *******

feet between her

lips and mine

but all I

feel all that

shakes my entire

body and soul

is this crippling

shyness it refuses

to go it

digs its toxic

roots down to

the depths of

my stomach and

refuses to let

go and I

can't and I

won't and I

don't hold her

hand and I

wonder forever if

she could have

loved me back
