Wanting to be Wanted

Neville

Wanting to be Wanted

 

She wants to be wanted

But she needs to be adored

She claims to have been

Somewhere else

But her alibi was floored

She wants to be the

Centre of attention

The apple of his eye

To have a foothold in

The ocean and a handhold

In the sky

 

She wants to have a purpose

But she needs to have a cause

She claims to be a victim

But her personality was flawed

She wants to be needed

And she hates to be ignored

She claims to have been

Someone else

But her DNA’s outlawed

She wants to be gazed at

But needs watching all the time

 

She claims she’s full of passion

But her style is out of fashion

She is well and truly broken

I’m afraid

She is a woman high on words

Her letters form a strangle hold

Her obsessions are absurd

Is she capable of learning

I don’t think so take my word….

      • orchidee

      • Neville

        we kinda lost touch recently... but if our paths cross, I will point her in your direction..... get a crash helmet and be prepared to sleep under ya mattress....

        She wants to be the apple of your eye - oh, and dare i mention, the apple of every other eye too.
        Hold back the wrinkles, at ANY cost.

        • Neville

          if you know her.. why did you not warn me about her

          • dusk arising

            I was hoping she would move on..... i didn't want any of her new 'prospects' to be put off. Then i met her again..... and again..... and again..... and..... you get the picture?

                    Me thinks, she thinks, she's grossly misunderstood - but isn't that what they all feel, for they never see in themselves being massively self centered - that is so poetically exclaimed here.

                    • Neville

                      you just hit the nail on the head.. this one certainly did think along those lines.. thank you my friend....

                      A woman high on words is often strangled with their hold - your first lines give the telling Nev on what that lady needs to address.......... "She wants to be wanted
                      But she needs to be adored"... best to steer clear methinks of such gross disorder.... but then you know that I am sure my friend - your expressions flow easy in this bold lament of a broken female -just catching up on what I first missed
                      - - your gift of building intrigue is amazing mon ami.............. x Fay

                      • Neville

                        yes indeed.. and to be Frank, well let's just say .... regrets, I've have a few but yet again, too few to mention and yes, I learn't the hard way.....

                        nevertheless, I have no objection to you catching up.... cheers Fay......

                        I think this is a wonderful rhyming poem yet a sad situation. Nonetheless, beautifully written. Glad you got out of this situation.---Christina

                        • Neville

                          you are indeed most kind and understanding.... thank you... N
