I'm tired of hoping
that you'll wake up
and see how this is killing me
Nothing changes
you still have your reasons
Your justifications for why we can never be
I won't sit by like a faithful little puppy
grateful for any little attention
Waiting for you to pat me on the head
Eagerly hoping for a sign of affection
Just tell me you want me
And I'll fight for this
I'll do anything you ask me to
But only if you can stand up
and for once fight for me too.
You really captured the sense of waiting for that someone to accept you. I loved the animal imagery, it makes sense.
