all I require

all I require 
is a little attention
I'm like a weed
water me
I will grow
ignore me and I'll turn
in the wrong direction
I'm not stupid
this is all I know

all I require
is a little human contact
even though
I will say
it isn't true
forgive me if you can
if not,
I need my heart back
this time
it does not belong to you

I am sorry
for anything I've done
even though
I don't know
what it is

all I require
is the illusion
life gets better
and that I won't always be
who I am
look me in the eyes
write me a farewell letter
let me believe
there is hope
if I can
