Satisfied

Have you ever been in love with someone and afraid to tell them because you are afraid of the response you are going to get? This poems talks about the fear yet the satisfaction you feel after you do.

The hands of fear tighten its hold on my heart
as you stand there saying nothing,
anxiety dances through my blood stream
tempting me to pace; to run away
But I remain rooted to the spot
Frozen
Unable to move

Impatience covers me like a blanket as the seconds tick away
And insecurity threatens to suffocate me as it sucks the air out the room
the quiet is killing me
Would I take back what I said if I could?
am I going to ever get over the hurt your eyes tell me I am about to feel?

Maybe not
But all of a sudden I am not so scared anymore
mixed inside with my fear is a feeling of satisfaction
cause I finally said it
I'm no longer going to hide
there is nothing to figure out
I opened my heart to you
It was time I let you know
That I love you.
