Doubtful In Love

Again tonight reality taunts me 
I am too timid to entertain my fears
That unspoken and uncertain feeling 
Concealed deeply yet nurtured by years

A picture of acceptance have I slowly painted
With placid smiles on skeptical eyes
A pact with doubt I remain acquainted
For promises could be true or truthful lies

Have I lived for love or it lived for me?
I waver between imagination and fact
Often what ought  may never be
Am I truly loved or playing an act?
