Pathetic

PATHETIC IS THE WORD
desparet is the feeling 
hurt is the outcome
regret is the thought

have you ever woken up needing affection
the love of a human soul
the bliss full touch of the tormented fingerprints 
needing the warm breath of the calming lover
the warm skin on skin body blanket 
the smile of pure appreciation of your presence

overall thats what i needed to feel whole again
i messed up and never felt the remose
tip toe regret came creeping in
after a season of laughter and no emotion
tip toe pain came knocking when
the attention left my body and into a different world
tip toe lonliness was just the everyday feeling 
of an pathetic heart.

i closed my eyes and rang him once
rang him twice 
and "hello" he said  
realising how much i missed that voice
i tend to speak my problem 
and the coldness of a human who has moved on 
simply tells me that im wasting my time and 
i cant get him back 

pathetic is how i feel.
