Attention

I used used to crave it
Being the spotlight
Dreamed of loud applause
Imagined men's eyes looking fondly
I used to starve
Needing this attention like god
And using my mask like the bible

But now I don't want this
I want these eyes
To get the hell off of me
I know why they are looking
I'm not stupid
I know what I did
Being impulsive is habit
And being careless is just my nature
All they see is my reputation
Even though I doubt this affirmation
I know that I deserve more than just there hands and lips
I want someone to love me
Like my heart is a prize
Where my body is not near the top of the list
I want a hand to hold and lips to kiss
When I start to spiral
I don't want lips or hands that lie
But that's all they want to give
I know what they say when I'm not around
And I've started to believe this rumor
I deserve that title
So why are you falling in love with a hallow log
I'm rotting
Are you blind?
Everyone else sees it
That's why they don't come close
But you?
No.
You invade
So I guess that I should beleive that you really care
Like I do to you
But then when I decode
And all of your I love yous
Ended with a meeting place and a time...
