Rotten Fruit

I beg for love from a willful pretender
I plead for attention from a broken vendor
I try so hard to get your attention
It's actually quite embarrassing to mention
I plead for a touch that is not readily given
This is not the kind of love my heart envisioned
A body that has been forgotten
A piece of fruit, not eaten, but rotten
