speak to me
why can't you speak to me like you speak to her
sometimes I have to turn my back so I can't see your eyes
when I talk to you I can't bear them
I feel you judging me
so I can only love myself when I have your love too
and I can only crawl when you tell me to fly
you burn me you freeze me
you loathe me you need me
but you never know me
you never love for free
my back faces you
waiting for you to touch me
I live for soothing lies
tell me who I am
and speak to me like you speak to her
maybe I can be real by proxy
why can't I be your confidant
why can't I be your friend
why can't I snap these velvet chains
and ache for this to end
