You can say it's bad timing
how I am always at a loss of words,
especially when it comes to you.
You constantly smile at me, tantalize me,
eyes shining and causing me to
choke on my own words.
I grin, awkwardly, stupidly,
seeking to redeem my pathetic self.
For every poetic verse I've written,
personifying objects with feelings,
feelings that I hold for you,
I can utter no word that would,
or could, sway your heart to mines.
