I don't want to feel like this
I need to feel close to someone
But I can't pay the price for it
So I'll settle for the physical
If it means I don't have to let you in
Instead of reaching out to someone
Who might care
I'll give my body to someone
Who doesn't know me at all
I'll lie to myself
Say that this is enough
But his touch can't fill a heart that's always bleeding
And intimacy is a two-way street I can't navigate\n\nAbigail Hauschild
