ECHOS
Beyond my control,
the words just slipped out.
Would they go unnoticed?
I began to doubt.
Like echos,
on a breeze.
I could not control,
their release.
I could not retrieve the words,
best left unsaid.
They seemed to explode
from my lips .
Without first,
consulting my head.
I wait with bated breath,
for your reaction.
Praying you feel
the same attraction.
Will you turn me away,
with my heart
on my sleeve?
What will I do if you simply,
turn and leave?
The words continue to echo,
as if slapping me
in the face.
I wait in anticipation
my heart,
beginning to race.
Still you only remain silent,
leaving me to fret.
My words said in haste,
I'm beginning to regret.
