I Just Want To Be Wanted
by Erin Freriks -- Sept. 22,1998
I just want to be wanted
To feel like I'm something to somebody
I thought that I was for nearly twelve long months
I thought he liked me
I thought he cared
Did he truly know
What was in my heart and soul?
Though I thoufht we were maybe growing closer
At times it felt like there was an incredible gap between us
That was only getting larger
Then one night I thought there was a spark
Yet mere days later, you seemed to ignore me
All I want is to be wanted
I feel so alone and don't know where to turn
This hunger deep inside me burns
Just to feel the need
Why can't you want me, or anyone for that matter
What is it about me...hunh??
I try so hard, but nothing
Is it my age, my hair, my weight?
I thought you could see past my many-flawed exterior
And see that
All I want is to be wanted
