Love at 9:45

by kurt - Virgo

This crush has pressed for 2 years
And brought nothing but pain and tears 
Like a boy striving to touch the stars 
You are on Venus and I am on Mars

We live but a block away 
But enough to break my heart 
I am like a bottle of shaken soda 
And self-confidence is holding on the cap 

What a plastic bubble I live in 
Secret and open the bubble isn’t always clear 
6 words hold such fear 
And one reply releases the soda  

Feeling played like a puppet
Thoughts clog my mind 
Love so unimaginative
Affection of no kind

Putting on this clear mask to 
Protect myself from vital opinions 
What awful taste I do to impress you 
What more must I do to for you to be convinced 

I want to run my words like a siren 
Keeping them locked away for so long 
Confessions shall free discouragement
And life has the chance of 50/50 

Do I lack the confidence of myself? 
What negative outcomes should pollute this “life”?
True confessions shall set me free 
And I shall let my mind rest for I peaceful night
