Lottery Tickets

You have a lot to say
You take your time when you're talking
You take
an infinitely long time
I listen to you
And line by line
I surrender
More and more to you
What's lying on the table
Never lay there before
And you circumvent
Consequences
Fear you aren't getting enough
And fears
you're wasting your time
 
What you say hurts me
Because you know
How the truth bends
 
My glances just like lottery tickets
I still have faith in my luck
Your words like arrows
When they hit there's no going back
 
I answer you and try so hard
To change something with words
We face each other and both see calendars
Under-eye bags
We say too much and mix the issues
That shouldn't overlap
I say something and then wonder,
"What did I want to achieve with that?"
 
My emphasized silences
Your blame, your fear
 
My glances just like lottery tickets
I still have faith in my luck
Your words like arrows
When they hit there's no going back
My glances just like lottery tickets
I still have faith in my luck
Your words like arrows
When they hit there's no going back

Some suggestions

'You speak leisurely" - you take your time when you're talking
"My glances like lottery tickets" - my glances just like lottery tickets
"I believe further in my luck" - i still have faith in my luck
"When they meet there's no going back" - when they hit there's no turning back
"That would be better to not intersect"- that shouldn't overlap
