Starving for attention in a place it was once so abundant.
I feel the words I speak on this matter have become quite redundant.
But though I've said them a million times in several different ways.
It's like my words fall on deaf ears, you still care not what I say.
I'm close to giving into the option, the one I have exclaimed.
Of just leaving off for the mountains or another town as I have claimed.
So close to giving up and moving on to another place.
In hopes that I may once again see a smile upon my face.
You used to make me happy, used to show me love in every way.
Now I'm barely able to get one kind word out of you on your best day.
Perhaps I should just give up, maybe I should leave.
I wonder in my absence would you feel slightly bereaved?
No, I sincerely doubt it, you've made your opinions all to clear.
With ignoring my every cry and plea, like you've turned off both your ears.
I do not possess the fortitude, I simply lack the strength.
To endure this pain you've put me through especially for this length.
And so I think it's time now that this battered eagle made his flight.
I'll soar off to distant lands panning and scanning for some light.
A new place for me to nest, yes, a new place to call my home.
Maybe someday in the future the lack of love you have we might atone.
But I know it's not today, the day we might mend our broken fences.
I know it will not be any time soon that I'll again lower defenses.
It's too bad though I must say, I used to once be full of life.
But you've beat me down and broke me, now I live with only strife.
