My soul aches for attention
For my name to have mention
Though it is of sound mind
It wants happiness it cannot find

It yearns to find a way to give
But also wants a way to live
To be free of all guilt
As the rose petals wilt

It dreams of what could be
And all the things that should be
It wants things the way they used to be
With someone to console me

The tears stream down the faces
Of the crowds in the places
The people cry and shout
But silence comes out

The waves crash beside me
As I look to the sea
A place to find hope when all seems lost
