Insecurity

You question me, puzzled

In search of the reason for my insecurity

You asserted that I was sweet and kind

And I could easily be taken advantage of

And you don't get why I couldn't see myself

In the way you do

But apparently, being sweet isn't enough

For it is her where your lips belong

She will never have to sleep with the

Fear of not seeing you as the light of dawn

Wake her with you beside her

Unlike my tears which keep me company

Morning, noon and night

Unable to recover from

The most torturous and devastating

Yet breathtakingly beautiful experience

Of being yours for an ephemeral moment

Gone in a heartbeat
