My attempt at..something O_O...
Bright lights shine down upon him
Others sit around him
But he has eyes for only one
She is so close he can touch her
So close her soft breath caresses his skin
All he has to do is say a simple word
A word spoken so frequently and with such ease
Her eyes meet his but each remains silent
He tries to keep his cheeks from becoming rosy red
She watches without a sound waiting for him to speak
This word so simple will not reach his lips
Fighting within, the word will not come
Why does she not speak?
Why must she torture him so?
Why does she make him feel this way?
Why won't she free him of this torment?
She sits there and watches, eyes so piercing
He tries to gulp back this overwhelming sense of fear
He tries to stifle this feeling of dread
Mouth so dry, he swallows loudly
Did she hear? Why won't she speak?
He tries with all his might to look away
Her gaze holds him firmly in place
Time passes so slowly; he tries to read her face
Can't tell what she's thinking from that expression
Mind racing, battling within
He says this word so casually everyday
Why can't he say it now?
What makes her so different?
Slowly he overcomes his fear
Slowly the dread begins to disappear
Steeling himself, his lips part
He can feel the words rise from within
She turns away
He begins Looking around in dismay
Why was she acting this way?
Others begin to rise from their seats
The shrill ringing of the bell jars him back to reality
Another day has passed
He has wasted another chance
He let her get away another day
He had vowed this would not happen again
He had promised himself to talk to her this day
But there he sat, in shock, as she stood and walked away
Anger rises from within
Why does this always happen to him?
Why can't he just utter this simple word?
Why was it so hard to talk to her?
Tears of frustration well up in his eyes
He blinks them away as he rises from his seat
Hiding his face as he walks through the halls
Hiding the tears from the others for fear they will laugh
After all he was man; he is not supposed to cry
He can't hold them back any longer
They cascade down his cheeks
He can already hear their laughter
Echoing through the halls, chasing him away
Sitting in alone in his room
Crying tears so red
Trying to make it through the day
Trying to overcome this pain
Head hung in shame
He'll never be brave enough to say this simple word
He'll never be brave enough to overcome his fears
He sits alone now drowning in his tears
Why had he done this to himself?
As his life slowly ebbs away
His world fades to black
His breathing slows
He welcomes the silence
He welcomes the escape from his fear
Death will free him from his pain
Death will free him from it all
He walks into deaths welcoming embrace
Losing himself in the eternal darkness
His life ends here
He is free of his fear
