Can You Reach Me
“Can You Reach Me”
Can you reach me
Here in my corner?
Can you break down
This bastion around my heart?
I see you, all of you
But you will never see me
I’m hid here in the shadows
A frightened little child
I want to be held
Though I’m afraid to touch
Cut you with my words
And you will go away
I’m ugly, I’m fat, I’m tough
I’m all the bitch you see
And so, so much more
I’m anything that will drive you away
If you can’t touch me
You can’t hurt me
You can’t love me
And I am so alone
