Rejection

written by: Sweet Insanity

I hate that I'm not used to your rejection
It's constant and unintentionally heartless
I place myself in your hands
And you crush me every time

I'm not quite sure if you understand
Exactly what I need from you
But when I attempt to clue you in,
You ignore my silly "whims"
And when I try to show you,
You simply brush me aside

I'm not asking for very much
Just to feel your caressing touch
To know that you need me
Half as much as I need you

I want to be wanted
I need to be needed
But you alone can give me what I want
And you alone can give me what I need

So I'll put myself into your hands
To be crushed every time
And I'll let you inadvertently break my heart
Then I'll hate how I'm not yet used to your rejection
