Vulnerability

I can hardly look into your eyes.

Ambling about like a dandelion
My sight flutters, gaze not staying
Eyes not meeting yours.

My Heart skips a beat
As you vocalise how much
It means to you that I’m here.

I feel like a trickster
A phoney, donning a mask
Of an angel.

Hiding behind a virtuous shadow
My soul is but a darkened meadow.

Withering like an autumn leaf
It weighs me down,
I cower, awaiting an excuse.

No, I can hardly look into your eyes.

My eyes mist and tears fall.
Thank God,
Now I need not look into your eyes
Anymore.
