I dare not

I dare not dare you to wonder if your decision was right

I dare not dare you to admit your slights

I dare not to inquire your preferences

As I dare not inquire to your dislikes

I dare not invite your disapproval

Such things keep me up at night

I dare not question your motives

As I dare not seek confirmation of your alibis

I dare not ask what you think

Answers I fear would leave me wondering why

I dare not call for your attention

I dare not look in your eyes

I dare not seek to validate my feelings

I believe such attempts would be unwise

I dare not ask you to try again

I dare not ask you to leave the arms of him

But I dare not pretend I feel nothing

I dare not
