A Chicken To Love No Longer

I think it is kind of weird
That I am acting so scared
Being a terrified chicken
I am like a time bomb tickin'
Form emotions that I hide
Every day way deep inside
When I see you pass by me
Smiling and so very
Handsome and kind in the way
You say "have the greatest day"
I just turn away from you
I don't know what I should do
To get your sweet loving kissin'
I need to stop being chicken
And bring out the woman I
Know is in there and not shy
But I've never felt before
This stirring and I want more
I will just have to be strong
Before you are sweetly drawn
Into the arms of someone new
Leaving me to think of you
And the way you were so nice
Sad and blue I'll pay the price
For not acting stronger than
A chicken cooped inside a pen
I will make you mine for sure
Digging way down in my core
I will finally face my fears
Saying hello as I stare
Into your beautiful green eyes
And you stare back with surprise

yes, you have to look them straight in the eyes, that is how I got my man!! this is a very fun one to read. By the title, at first I thought it was going to be about a chicken you did not love any longer. hahaha
