Bernard Snyder - 'Overwhelmed'

We often travel a path of uncertainty
unsure of what lies ahead,
we find someone that really intrigues us,
but our heart isn't quite prepared,
so we contemplate back and forth
so afraid it could be a mistake,
we'd like to know where the road may lead us
but we're overwhelmed with so little faith,
we look for signs that would give us some idea
but everything seem so vague,
a part of us would like to at least 'try'
the other part too afraid,
so we think it's best to just walk away
and not ever know if the pieces fit,
we were so overwhelmed by fear,
we didn't even have the heart to take the risk.
