Why Would You Not Dare

The swirling clouds in endless motion
are a sharp reminder, like an unsewn tear,
as to the reason, the wondering of
why you would not dare.

The memories flood me,
I cannot breathe;
I gasp for air; anything;
still;  you are all I see.

Like a weeping willow
gently blowing in the wind,
I am still standing tall,
through tears streaming down my chin.

You are so close, yet so very  far;
too scared to make a move;
you want so much to touch me;
yet you choose to remain aloof;
why would you not dare.

I have given you my heart, my trust
my innermost thoughts,
yet  sadly, we continue to drift  further apart;
why would you not dare. 

To let go,  would be to let go of us;
these words are what we solemly vowed;
with truth and with love, to always share;
why would you not dare.

How do we keep us blossoming
when we lead two seperate lives;
I will fight for us both;
please take your hand in mine.

Why would you not dare.
