Realize

There are things I'll never say

Things that will seem so silly

And things that break my heart to tell you

I feel horrible

A terrible person to tell you the truth

About my fears

And insecurities

The nightmares it gives me

You say I can tell you anything

But I'm terribly afraid to

I'm being childish

So I don't say a word

And when I do speak

When I tell you what I wish for

To me it's something small

A hug

A kiss

A want to feel loved

I feel that I ask for too much

After you've given me such joy

I'm sorry but I can't help it

My selfishness is a double-edged sword.

Your emotions are very clear in this poem and that last line is just brilliant.
"My selfishness is a double-edged sword."
Well done.
