I'm sorry I can't measure up...

By A Broken Soul

Every word from my mouth
Such imperfection
I can never find words to explain
The feelings I know
How knowing I feel
So deep just scares me away

Truthfully
I want nothing more than you
Spend an hour, a day with you
Maybe I’m asking for too much
I just need to feel you’re touch

Every smile, so sincere,
Is crooked
I’m sure you’ve noticed, I cower
The feelings I have
Having felt how I never have
It pushes my commonsense to the side
