May i have your attention (whore)

By BroKen-GlaSSHeArT

Your attention (whore)
is frantic, desperate....
wanting (you)
not just you but,
someone,
anyone....
(NOTICE ME)
starved for genuine affection

we all need,
something.
anything.
(love)
to belive that;
the next breathe is worth it,
(DYING FOR)
a cause worth living for.

but five minutes of fame
-is only a tease
(so is she)
its just another fix
(but its never fixed)

pathetic how we
-thrive on those hands
(clapping,clasping)
the eyes undressing you...
and the way you'll do anything,
just to stand out.

drowning in the monotony.
smothered by the crowd.
(can anyone hear me?)
does anybody see?
she is dancing,
stripping her dignity
(just to get by, just to get noticed.)

LOVE is so hard to come by,
so hard to cling to.
after a memory shatters
-it starts to dig in heavily
and infection ensues.
(just another way of saying you've got the blues.)
raging and silent.
(NEED)

will you feed it?
will you be her fix?
can you feel the leak or did you,
cut her off?
(dead line cometh)
selfish little (wench)
dying for a hole she can never fill.
(empty hearted)
