My hand placed on your chest
Your eyes closed
Closed off from me
Lost in your thoughts
Ignoring my existence
Reciprocity doesn’t exist in this room
I second guessed it all
Baby girl, don’t cry now, later
Sedated by the stillness of your skin
I’m just another body resting
On a still pale corpse
Hoping my touch will awaken life in you
You could be hiding from me
Or are you really like this?
No arm around me to raise my head to see
You were emotionless
Off in your world
I was barely hanging on

My hand placed on your chest
Your eyes closed
Closed off from me
Lost in your thoughts
Ignoring my existence
Reciprocity doesn’t exist in this room
I second guessed it all
Baby girl, don’t cry now, later
Sedated by the stillness of your skin
I’m just another body resting
On a still pale corpse
Hoping my touch will awaken life in you
You could be hiding from me
Or are you really like this?
No arm around me to raise my head to see
You were emotionless
Off in your world
I was barely hanging on
