Bittersweet
The only objective that cowers in my ripped pocket is
 Altering your mind—
 Every second of the day I wish that you were clever enough to
 Reach out to the tendrils of truth
 For it’s not what you think,
 But that’s too impractical. 
 
 Every single thing I do has a reason, every drop of bliss. 
 When you tell me about it,
 I’m glad you’re joyous, 
 But it’s so bitter at the same time. 
 
 I wish that I could understand
 Your mind capabilities just a bit more.
 
 Just how much can you understand?
 
 What are your limits?
 For when I hear you going on and on and on
 About the same thing I am indifferent to,
 I am no longer indifferent, but regretful.
 
 I am sorry to have taken so many for granted
 But I don’t want to lose you.
 And there’s no problem with that—
 Except that the hole in my pocket 
 Was still there.
