Include Me

By: Kristie Martinez

Why do I always think about him?

He holds my thoughts and my heart

I bet he doesn’t even know

It frustrates me!

Because I can’t help but think about that night

And what I did wrong to make him go away

One kiss and his harms holding me

Spent all night talking

Smiling and laughing like always

Is there something I’m missing?

This takes sleep away from me at night

And my concentration during the day

It’s hard to put into words what I feel

All I can say it hurts

But the memory gives me hope

That he’ll open up and let me know

What he wants

And if his wants include me
