I craved intimacy, thought your hand on me would free me I thought that if you embraced my waist, all my tears would fade I thought pain and shame would be buried in my adoration of you But little did I know love is a scary thing and I subconsciously ran before it caved in too So this cycle I perpetuate leaves me in a constant state of disarray I can't decide which fear controls me inside but I do recognize I need to change the ties Like a spider creeping on my back, my cat appears with love Rubbing her head against everything craving my attention indefinitely The eyes closed, so close, the love I have been craving So I give the love I been craving to my baby and she returns it to me Suddenly the act of loving unconditionally is no longer foreign to me
