Wanting to be Wanted

These words go back a few years, I can tell ya.....

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...

Hold on there Neville... I have not been on here for awhile but I was surprised and happy to see a poem from you... I thought you had decided not to post anything????? But I see now that you did...and I so enjoyed it...
Lisa, always so busy...way too busy...

[Neville]

I am delighted to see you back here Lisa always so busy .. it is an honour to have you call round .. bless you and have a fantastic 2025 .. Neville who is busy too, visiting his very poorly wife in hospital

[Lisasview]

Oh no your wife isn’t well.. what the heck!
Lisa, hoping it isn’t something really bad..and knowing it is none of my business.

[Lisasview]

I just reread your poem… and really like it…
Of course wondering who this someone is?
Lisa

[Neville]

Not any more .. Cheers Thomas .. Neville

[Arundass TP]

A hard poem for me to understand. Anyway written nicely

[Neville]

I am sorry to learn that, I will try harder in future & thank you for stopping by .. Neville

Welcome friend 😊

I think we all could recognise a part or a fuller reflection of this upon self examination, some better at conquering or co-existing with this set of conditions, across genders as well. Be that as it may, the entrancing quality and fluidity of language betrays a spontaneity of writing that may have been released for some significant reason. Clue me in via direct message if you must, I felt free to ask!

[Neville]

thank you for stopping over RBK .. so very much appreciated .. am glad you asked, quite a few others have too .. well actually, that's an understatement .. I never thought for a moment, my scribble would generate so much interest .. or should I say, the little minx that served to inspire it .. May I first suggest that you send me a direct message with a clue as to who you think it might be .. p.s there is always a reason or reasons .. Neville

[redd Brick Keshner]

…Ok, game!

damn did you write this for me? i feel like my secrets have been revealed, i don't know if there is another poem that i take as personally as this but i'm triggered.
my selfishness aside, it's absolutely perfectly written

[Neville]

Thank you for stopping by my friend .. No, this is about someone else entirely & whom you really wouldn't want to be associated with .. Kind seasonal regards, Neville

[.]

I hope this person is not in your life right now... wishing you the best

[Neville]

Ha' bless you .. She tries to be but I have learnt that it pays just to ignore her .. Neville

[Ern M. Yoshimoto]

no questions. i already know the person this verse is about haha. really, you can only feel pity for such people. this individual i know is always craving attention but it can never be satiated. she knows it, i know it, the whole world knows it. but, like a drug addict, she keeps going after those cheap highs. there is no good ending for this type of behaviour, but, nothing i can do.
anyway, hope you have a good day. cheers.

[Neville]

sadly and ever so, there are those who refuse to see behind the well hung veil .. thanks Ern ..

Such beings are useless, why they are born what for, living like prisoners for others blame. You hav shown the life of jesus just to be born today and hav given his life history brutally killed for others blame.

Why do you care even to think of those creatures spending so much time to write about their history

I dont know what for christmas is being celebrated when his death funeral anniversary is coming in next few months..

I think we just need to mourn on this christmas similar to easter which is a historical fact.

Why do you feel that much pain Neiv to write about those being who dont even respect the culture of going to church, dont even pray to jesus. Why do you need this merry christmas writing so many wishes..

These are useless crazy who sacrifice their life so much at the end they get brutal death alive.

My life is such an example.
Jesus would hav been having amazing life in heaven why he came to earth to get killed by..

Well planned bon voyage..
I miised all those just to spend a single day on this christmas eve every year. Where you are not seeking my life but my brutal death by keeping me away just being with others...


Great

I dont want to wish any christmas.. as it is and every year been a death day yo me..
To mourn..

[Neville]

Nevertheless, thank you for stopping by .. Neville

Glad to see your reply.

Eyes feel tired

Eyes feel tired
But not allowing sleep to come in
Heart missing you watching tge sky
My eyes on the way to see him
Asks the birds did you see him
Winds blew passing his hair said they watched him on this way
Flowers and light flies bloom making and showing tge way...

Here he comes to say *love you my love did you miss me? *
I said there was no second that passed through my life that i never kept you apart in my soul and heart thinking of you and missing you.

Another boom poem Nev, wonderful natural flow to this one and i love the rhyming! This is definitely now one of my favorites from you. I'm pretty sure i have dated this girl she is very special I wanted to help her but she wasn't looking for help just adoration with blinders. Authentic in her disingenuous to a no fault. Seems i always heel to the heal the bunny is often stupid.

[Neville]

Well I neva, bless ya bruvva..... Hope you are well BB and if ya are, stay that way y'hear :)

[Einstein Noodle]

fortunate in the escape says i ;) love the story .. flow and rhyme are both easy breezy ...in V2 L9 you have repeated "flawed" ... how about "in-lawed" ..or "gnawed" ... just some thoughts
this poem hooked and held me .. in reading i find it very honest .. no hint of judgement or bitterness .. just plain and simple ... the antagonist is one to cut ties with .. good job sir... as always .. a treat to read
E.
ps. i ain't askin' nuttin' my friend! :)))))

[Neville]

Thank you so much Gene, I truly appreciate you visiting and your impressions.. All the very best of good things to ya........ Neville
