Coward

You see I have been with people, I have laid in uncomfortable beds and kissed dry lips. 

I have been young and reckless, yet I have never laid my heart to rest  

I was too scared and human to risk it, to take the last step and kiss him when he was looking at me. 

I was to me to say to him don’t go. 

The one I almost loved, was a fool walking blindly into love. 

I couldn’t find the exit door to my home, it was tricky and exciting. 

But again I wasn’t brave and careless "I'm double-faced" 

I have been on playdates. 

Yet when love comes knocking on my door, 

I am a warrior hiding behind the curtains not ready to play a role that is worse than the hunger of loneliness.
