William Poem by Rian Pongratz

I know that you care for me,
You know that I care, too,
The only problem is,
I don't know if I can love you.

I can't give you my whole heart,
When part of me is gone.
The girl that you think you love,
Has taken over for so long.

I want to be truthful,
But I don't want to hurt you.
I don't know if I'm good for you,
When my own lies still ring true.

I'm tired of claiming I'm fine,
When no one else can see,
That I'm slowing dying inside.
Aren't you supposed to watch over me?

I don't know if I'm ready,
To date someone like you.
But I'm scared of being alone,
So, you can bet I'm sticking through.
