She yearns for unconditional love, she receives empty words
She yearns for a gentle touch, she receives scathing looks
She yearns for easy laughter, she receives sharp retorts
She yearns to be cherished, she receives no further thought
She yearns for acceptance, she receives judgment
She yearns to be carried in your heart, but alas! there is no room
She yearns for joyous interaction
While bitter tears flood her eyes, each salty drop bursting with reflection
She yearns, ultimately realizing futility in the longing
What a girl wants, and what she receives are irreconcilable
