Tongue Tied

I look at you and I feel tongue tied

You look at me and you seem uptight

You made me wonder whether I see it right

That you like me, then give me slight

I don’t feel that you are too bright

In making friends, you are a fright

Not that open, you keep all inside

When tense and upset, you callously bite

I look at you and you seem to care

But I don’t know, don’t want to bear

This feeling of not good enough to share

Over and over again, my heart you tear

I look at you and I feel tongue tied

I wish I know how to say it right

But no matter how I wish it so might

I care too much in the end, I let it slide.
