Nerve

How strange!  I'm not a stupid man,
But never found it weird
That when I tried to talk to you,
You always disappeared.

It seems the conflict of my brains
Has put me in a bind.
My desire that your love I'd gain
Has left me wholly blind.

I hate myself for wanting you so badly.
It takes a lot of nerve,
To pursue someone who doesn't want me,
Someone I don't deserve.
