Every time
The same mistake
I should have learned by now
I should know by now
Silence ends in agony
The bittersweet edge
Of an angst filled plane
Made heavy by apprehension

Three simple words
Should be effortless to say
Then why do I fail
Every chance I get
Is it rejection
That I fear
Or that you'll leave
Without a wave goodbye
Am I so afraid
To succeed
That I can't even start
