Paralysis
What would it hurt
RRE
to just ask.
Would a delicate ego
be so shattered
by her rejection?
Would some imaginary prestige
be forever lost?
Am I so arrogant
as to believe
anyone actually cares?
Would anyone even notice?
One tiny
yet omnipotent word
is like some weapon
rendering me
once more
paralyzed
alone.
