Doubt

01/15/2013 10:37

A shy glance, my cheeks aflame.

My heart pounds, when you say my name.
My hopes rise, but there is a sense of pain.
I have been hurt before, will it happen again?
 
Sharp words with a man at work.
I chastize him for the duties he shirks.
Words to placate me, from a boss who lurks.
Is the fault mine, am I the jerk?
 
A sudden friendship springs to life.
We share our hopes, our fears, our strife.
We are the best of friends, or so it seems.
So why do you no longer talk to me?
