Unwanted

She reaches out, trying not to expose her soul.
Wanting. She is desperately wanting to be wanted.
A lonely heart left untouched, forever she is haunted.
She cautiously continues her quest to feel whole.

She is the unwanted. The one always left behind.
Forever reaching out, only wanting to find some comfort.
Always hiding from the world, keeping secret her deepest hurt.
Knowing from inside what she seeks she will not find.

She hands him her heart and prays this time it won't break.
Making herself vulnerable, she only hopes he will let her in.
But she knows all to well this is a game her heart won't win.
Hoping beyond all that she dares to dream that it's no mistake.

But she is the unwanted. Forever destined to be alone.
As night passes, she finds that the dark loneliness is hers to bear.
She only wanted him to hold her...a moment for them to share.
But his embrace eludes her. Feeling abandoned, she is on her own.

Picking up the pieces of a heart shattered, she hides all of her fallen tears.
She faults only herself for being broken, no one else holds the blame.
It was her bruised and broken heart that could not win this game.
His rejection takes claim over her as she retreats back to her fears.

Because she is the unwanted. Unknown and forgotten.
Not loved. Overlooked. Unimportant. Of no desire.
She is worthless. Cold. Unable to be warmed by love's fire.
Because she is the unwanted. Unknown and forgotten.
