Breathless

On the steps.
I sit alone.
eyes water.

can't see
why.
can't she
believe.
trust.
me.

heart aches.
breath heavy.
i catch my breath.

love her
more.
than.
i knew
i could
love.
tears fall.

head pounding.
heart breaking.
breathless
i fall.

don't know
why.
she's scared
to try.
chance.
love.
