The Palpable Illusion
Do I help you
Find a sense of fulfillment
Avoid pain,
Help you make it through the day
You demand that your
Internal needs be met
You make me
A part of your rituals
That feed
To dehumanize me
Your actions
Dehumanize me
Illusive image
That you can control
That you can own
Or fulfill anytime
The palpable illusion
Of intimacy
But no substance
Intrusively using me
As if I have no emotions
And no soul
You're not emotionally involved
Or committed to me
(x2)
You seek your rest in my pain
I'm your avoidance of intimacy
You touch and want to be touched
But you're left only with self
Fulfill unmet needs
Without consideration
Without considering
How I feel
Aggressively degrading
Using as an object
You're not emotionally involved
Or committed to me (x2)
You seek your rest in my pain
I'm your avoidance of intimacy
You touch and want to be touched
But you're left only with self
(x2) You seek your rest in my pain
