self important

I’ve made myself a given
and given all I’ve got
you know I’ll be there
with my hands in your hair
and my heart on my sleeve
carrying the conversation

there is a line somewhere
between loyal and desperate,
noble and sad
where I rest
settle
wait for you to notice
but I’ve noticed you not noticing
at all

girl, you better learn the difference
between your man
and your daddy
soon
