Unstable Wishes

Hands are shaking, tears in the making. Quivering lips, frozen finger tips. There's an unsure look in your eyes, my emotions are dressed in a disguise. Your words are meant to sink deep into my heart but my past and fears just tear them apart. When you try to hold my hand, I disappear like quick sand. When you look into my eyes my emotions go on a ride, the kind of emotions I can't hide. But the sound of your laugh, the way you smile, makes me wish you could stay for more than a while. My fears are eating me inside out. I want to do this but the back of my head is screaming sirens of doubt. Why does the thought of holding you make me go insane? Why am I the only one that's on your brain? What is it that causes us to care? I guess we'll never find out until we've been ensnared. Stay by my side and I'll stay by yours, and together we will open new doors
