Unwanted

[WC is an old man]

I just wanted to be wanted
I just wanted to be held
But weak willed men prefer the kinda women who cast spells
Ever alluring
Glowing
Princesses and Queens
I’m just chasing a simplicity that seems
Too hard to catch
Too hard to find within the confines of our minds where we can wander
Go astray
And so they do
But they never seem to wander back to you
So I just wanted to be wanted
Simple as it seems
Must have been too big an ask
Must have been a dream
Where someone might want me
Least it seems that way
Like I gotta be insane
Thinking they’d go outta their way
Not save me or whisk us away
Just want me like I wanted to be wanted by a man
I know I’m not the only lonely woman in the land
I know I’m not so easy on they eye
And maybe I’m too fragile or fussy in the mind
I just wanted to be wanted
Just a feeling
Just a vibe
Guess I’m just a disappointment
Or not the type
Not enough pride
Not enough ambition
Too much indecision
Baggage
No clout or coin
I had a nice life but things have changed and I lost poise
I was satisfied being single
Working
Minding my damn own
Now I’ve nothing
No friends or favour
I don’t even have a home
So I just wanted to be wanted
Is that selfish and contrite
Is it so distasteful to want to be wanted by somebody for life
