Parent and Child

The sound of a distraught parent doesn't sound appealing,

The loss of their child, being the source of their pain.

But, hearing the sound is comforting,

Knowing that someone is in pain because of the loss of their child,

The feeling you receive when hearing the pain in a parent's voice over their lost child is it's comforting.

I wish to be needed the way the parents need back their children.

As much as a parent needs back their child,

I am a child who need back their parent, 

The parent who decided they didn't need me as much as they thought.

So, the attention shifts from the parent to people other than them, who give them negative attention, instead of what they need.

As much as the parent needs their child, the child will always need their parent more.
