There he is
talking until he can't breathe.
There she is
staring ahead so it's him she can't see.
He flatters her,
praising the beauty she possesses.
She ignores him
as her inner-extrovert regresses.
He explains himself
saying all that he has accomplished.
She silences herself
wishing his voice and attempts were finished.
He continues on
telling her all the reasons he deserves a chance.
She continues on
staying strong in her ignoring, not sparing even a first glance.
His persistence unwavering,
he is determined she will give him the minutes he needs.
Her resilience staggering,
she refuses to give any sign he could misread.
This painful struggle
seems to be a war waging onward forever
until he realizes
it is time to move on to another useless attempted endeavor.
