re-do!

the gruff responses that i shove
the harsh and short and 
clipped,
they all remind me of me when i am 
\distracted./
show me a pause button on the tv
the mute on the conversation in my book
the lovely rewind on the traffic light i ran
please just show me a way to make it so that i can listen to you
with all the love and attention you deserve,
and reply with sensical answers instead of 
"huh?"s and "yeah"s and "nope"s.
so that i can really
listen,
and not with 1/2 my focus.
i am frustrated with having to pause, but not because of you, because of 
me.
