Poetics By Jade

He thinks I’d never go for him,
That’s just not the case,
I’m just taking one step at a time,
After all it’s not a race,

If he knew what I thought,
If he knew how I felt,
If he knew that when he looks at me,
My heart truly melts,

It’s not that I don’t want him,
I do in every way,
My problem is in fact,
I’m too scared to stay,

I don’t want to fall for him,
And never be able to let him go,
Because I know that’s what will happen,
Even if we take it slow,

Coz if he becomes my life,
What will happen when he’s gone?
My oxygen will be cut off,
My life will seem so wrong,

Last time I was in love,
To the boy it was a game,
He didn’t love me at all,
He lied to me with no shame,

If that were to happen again,
I don’t know how much my heart can take,
I can’t wait around forever,
Not knowing if it’s real or fake,

But in the end I guess that’s love,
You gotta dive into the unknown,
And I guess by the end of it all,
You’ll find that you have grown,

So maybe I should take a risk,
Maybe I should take that dive,
Hold my breath and close my eye’s
And pray that I survive.
