He Says

He says I seem emotional,

keeps asking how many days, how many days, how many days.

Confront the problem, he says.

It forces you to confront the problem.

I like to keep my skeletons in the closet, thank you very much.

He asks me if I'm still trying,

if I'm even trying at all.

Try harder, he tells me.

Try harder, he says.

I'm tired of trying harder, I'm tired of trying to stop.

I'm not going to just give up on you, he says.

You're a real catch, he says.

Hey, he says.

I wish, he says.
