Surrogate

I am your surrogate. Your surrogate boyfriend Your surrogate lover Your surrogate friend. I'm a stand in. I'm a waiting room Before your appointment. I'm your emotional pick me up Your needed ego boost. Close when you want me to be Far away when you choose. I am opinionless I am desireless I'll fulfill what you need me to I'll plug the holes But I'll never make you whole. I am temporary depression distraction I am generous My fingertips will go where you want When you want My skin is cold. I'll be your companion Until you don't want me around I'll be thankful for your pity invites. I'll hide my pain, so I can take yours. I'll be lonely so that you don't have to be. Am I time well spent? When you're with me, Do you think of where you'd rather be? Or who you'd rather be with? I am your surrogate Your emotion crutch I'll care so that you don't have to. Why don't you care? I'll shown concern and interest So that you won't have to. I'll be here for you So that you don't have to be for me. I'll give you my heart So you can keep yours hidden.
