Chasing and chasing and never getting caught

Somewhere in those eyes you must know I’m distraught 

I want so badly for the what I never had 

Someone to hold me, perhaps my own dad? 


Constantly going out and seeking 

Through my eyes to the older men I am peaking 

They never look back, I’m always disappointed 

Our eyes never meet— our souls are disjointed

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
