Unsure

Bravado abounds aplenty
Words they come and go
The banter and the gentle smiles
Pass you as they flow

Seemingly so certain
Of everything he is
Confidence just everywhere
No fuss, no mess, no tizz

Relaxed in every situation
You're assured of his attention
Time to spare, no trepidation
Glinting eyes of admiration

Outwardly there is no sign
Of any struggle or fight within
So you take him at face value
The mask will never once wear thin

Any fraught times or tales
Are met with easy calms
Knowing all you need to do
Is fall straight in to his arms

Relaxed in every situation
You're assured of his attention
Time to spare, no trepidation
Glinting eyes of admiration

Yet when I'm close to you
I come undone
I'm Icarus
And you're my sun
My wings that saw me
Fly so high
Melt in the gaze
Of your eye
Can't take the heat
The shine, the glare
Of your looks
And intense stare
You delve in to
The heart of me
My legs they
Turn to jelly
I have no answer
No quick retort
In your net
I'm truly caught
Fish out of water
Gasping for air
Trapped by your
Smile, your face, your hair
But there's no
Escape for me
Why, you ask?
I'm Icarus, see
Flown too close
To the one
My Neo
And Trinity won't come
To save the day
Before I'm done
Got to close to the sun

And this wasn't the idea
Of this post
Started no differently
To most
That you read here
Every day
When I've escaped work
And on my way
Guess I lost something
As we went
Or found some words
I'd left unspent

Sorry for the words you had to endure
Not sure what I wrote them for
But I'll leave them here for evermore
Not like me to be so unsure
