Stuck

Stuck! Somewhere between wanting to kiss you
and wanting to pretend that I don’t
See you staring at me from across the gym.

Either way I’m stuck
where I don’t want to be... 
Where I don’t want to feel… 
Stuck with sleepless nights.

I must have texted you over a half a dozen times.
Each message filled with pleads,
Telling you how I’m the one, how I’d love you 
Better than her… better than anyone else could ever.

As quickly as I write those words
I, with ease, delete them all.
As if what I feel or what I have to say 
Would matter to you at all…
