Tell Me How To Do It Right Poem by Christian Rivera

No matter how hard I try
My words never come out right
And everything I say
Turns into a mistake

I brought you flowers on your birthday
Hoping you would come and thank me
But I didn't know
Roses melt your heart like fallen snow

I keep a picture of your smile
Happiness frozen in time
To keep my hopes from falling
Hoping you will soon be calling

And I know that every attempt that I make
To stop your heart from its speedy pace
Always ends in tragedy
But I only still believe in you and me

This is my last attempt at having you
So tell me what it is I should do
Because I feel like without your help
I might as well go and hang myself

Tell me what it is that makes your heart stop
Tell me what to say to make your jaw drop
And I will try my hardest to be the best thing in your life
And I will try my best to get the first time right
