Dear John
On pins and needles I sit here
Patiently waiting for my turn
Anxious to see my own fear
While I am once again burned
I was not just another ornament
I told you the other day
You didn't understand what I meant
As you pleaded with me to stay
Throwing the plate at your head
Was probably not the best idea
I tried to take you to bed
But you said nice try
All I want is some affection
As I go up and down these hills of life
Is it too hard to give me attention
Maybe when I come at you with a knife
Then you will take me seriously
And not make a mockery of me
