Poem - My Reason?

What is it that I lack,
where is the courage I once had?
What is my reason to hold back,
why do I discourage, it couldn't be that bad.

Why won't I take chances,
Is it because the last time I tried,
I was riddled when I made advances,
for I can't be sure if it was me that you denied.

I'd like to ask,
but I remain frozen,
I'd like to remove this mask,
but I'm stuck with the path I've chosen.

Would you save me from this despair,
if you knew that I needed you?
Because you're what I crave, the one without compare,
Please, renew my strength, and help me pull through.
To be without you, is a feeling only you can undue.
