Analysis of please tell me that I am not annoying

Holly Flame Maxey 1976 (baltimore)



It has been brought to my attention
That if I do not try…
I already lost
So, here i am
Even though i am hiding behind my words
I am still here

Admitting to you behind my tears
That my heart refuses to beat
Without any communication with you
Why won’t you let me email you
How can I ease this pain

I am drowning in my tears
I pray for any kind of relief
But It never comes
I am afraid of rejection
Yet I never even given you the chance
To reject me

So, in the final seconds of the clock
I am admitting to you
And everyone else who reads this
I love you and miss you
Every day I do not properly
Express my emotions to you

Please end my suffering
By at least saying
I am not annoying to you
