The Unaskable Question

A Poem

Sitting here

Wanting to ask an unaskable question

Oh the hesitation

What if it’s the answer I want

What if it’s the other

Will it haunt me

Just sitting here

Listening to her

Watching her

Watching how she takes care of something small

She’d make a great mother

I want to tell her

It’s practically screaming from my brain

My whole body quivering with the desire

The fire

To tell her how I feel about her

But is it reciprocated

Or would she hate it

If I let my words fly

I don’t want to let this one die

To shrivel up on the vine

I want her to know what’s on my mind

But I have to hold it in a little longer

The unaskable question
