To be wanted
to be the object of affection
oh my what a goal
and the road i know so well
the ugly does dwell
where cherry blossoms whither
and river runs deeper
still i need
to be needed
as the oceans receded still i pleaded
give me the wanted glance
make me feel less hopeless
but never for me
im denied it all
so like the words
that fall on dead ears
im so naive despite 18 years of cursed fuel
and no i never owned you

you got me with the last line again! No, actually, the whole poem got me. You must be able to read my little ole' 18 year old mind. Thats it.....I'm emailing you.

I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

Wow...I can relate to this one after 17 years in the same type of relationship.
