Love and Irritations

I Need Some Attention

Do you have to suck up all the air

Out of the room?

Can you just keep quiet and calm?

Quit messing around

Halt blurting out sounds...

When you are here, you suck all the air

From the room...

It's a nasty trait

One you did not create

So please give me some air

That is only fair.

I need some attention

I need someone to hug

What I don't need is a

Hollering, egomaniac

I'd like to explore my penchant

For verdant expanse and tranquil serenity

So can you step outside?

There's a door in the back.

Do you have to suck up all the air

In the room?

Do you have to?

Can you take a break?

For goodness sake!

I'd really appreciate a change

To move around in this room

Stand up and sing, do anything

Other than feel suffocated.

I need some attention

I need someone to break my routine

Can you see past my angst

At your first glance?

I'd like to explore my yen

For greener pastures

So please step out of here

Then I can sate my desires, not live in fear.
