Title: Inadequate

You’re standing there
Just a hands breadth away
Offering me everything
Putting it all on the line
And I’m not rejecting you
Just stalling
Trying to find the right thing to say
It’s not that you’re impatient
You’ve been waiting in silence for years
And you’re not jumping to conclusions
God you’re exactly what I want
You’re not asking for too much
You’re offering it all up
It’s only fair that I do the same
It’s me
And my problems
My insecurities
You say you want me now
But after a while
It might become apparent
I’m not what you’re looking for
And I am so scared
That if I say yes
I love you Dick
One day
I’ll have to watch you disappear
Because I push too hard
And I demand too much
More than anyone can take
And I can’t stand the idea
Of being inadequate for you
