Desperate Poem by Dyhanara Rios

Staying up and staying awake
Losing track of the hours
As I try to keep the conversation flowing

You're always the one that has to go
And I'm the one putting my life on hold
Just to hear you greet me

I tried putting our skills to the test
Waiting to see if the first word's on me
Or if you'll actually say hello to me

Initiative
Assertiveness
You know, things you could work on
And I've been toning it down on my end

Why do my thoughts roam in a frantic rush
In the instant your words make me blush
All the while it's hard to make you smile

Losing track of time
And losing my mind
As I try to keep the conversation flowing
And you don't seem to mind

Losing track of time
And losing my mind
As I try to improve your character
All the while stop you from growing
So you'll never even think of leaving
