Eve's curse, by Laura Alaniz

Eve's curse

Desperate for his attention

Knowing it will drive him away

How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me

Restless As I lay in bed Trying to fall asleep These are my clues I might be low

No hay nada más sincero Que un regalo Inesperado Una carta Un chocolate

My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
