a poem about a couple who didn't realize what they had wasn't real. |
Wanting to be Wanted Closing eyes nothing around Never heard a sound so quietly put Never dreamed that I would feel this way Sometime some way there will be a new day Going through the motions of emotions Not understanding the full feel of the effect Hoping, wasting time that some day that it’s met I feel a hunger, a hunger deep inside A wish for time that I can no longer abide by Living a lie Something that needs to be dealt with I can’t stand the way I am feeling It’s nothing but a fatal emotion A heartache, but not my own Taunting words and acts of disrespect Harmless and yet hurtful Trying to be understood but relentless You speak, you yell you scream But nothing heard but the heartache I wanted to be wanted Not necessarily did it have to be you Just someone with some insight A piece of mind of the right kind Maybe it was just to be some time It took what was most important to me Reassuring you that it was you I loved and no other I played myself for a fool and I played you Not with another, but with words Now you feel out of sorts A feeling you try to mask by putting on a face It doesn’t work you can’t hide it Take a break a break from the hurt Let it be known that you weren’t the cause of it But you were the reason it happened You wanted to be wanted By someone who cared for you I couldn’t do it the job wasn’t for me Yet another will come wanting the same Maybe this time it won’t be a tragedy |
