Tired

Unloved, unwanted, unneeded, undesired.
Discarded, dismissed, denied, not required.
Left wanting, left wishing, left hoping, left crying.
Feel like giving up, giving in, letting go, like I'm dying.

How much pain can I stand to endure?
How much loneliness must pierce my very core?
How many times must my hopes be cruelly dashed?
How much longer can one fragile spirit last?

I give my all over and over again.
I give my heart but am always just a friend.
Each time I have hope...faith...even joy.
Each time they are dashed, left broken like a toy

Men are drawn to me like a moth to a flame.
But never seem to choose in my life to remain.
They want me to be faithful to them all my days.
But fail to realize how they torture me with their ways.

I need more than pal to talk to at night.
I deserve a man who doesn’t extinguish my light.
I want love to envelop me in its warm embrace.
I am worthy of more than a quick trip to third base.

The time of being used has come to an end.
I have no more random energy to spend.
Togetherness, affection, caring, intimacy.
These are the things you need to give to me.

A loyal, dedicated woman – I can fulfill all your dreams.
But only for a man who appreciates what that means.
I want to be yours for the rest of your life.
But not as a convenience. As a partner. As a wife.
