Kyōto-Me - I Need You

It wasn't the stains on the sheets
It was the stains on my mind
I still feel him on me
I have to get him off of me
He rotted my escape
And now I've got nowhere to run
And I'm so scared of facing any of it again
There's an ache in my heart where beauty used to be
Something I loved ripped from my hands
The most divine feelings now scorned
Because if we didn't it felt wrong to him
He robbed my enjoyment
He stole happiness and simple pleasure
He's a thieving bastard and left me with naught but a mental crucifix
And I can't find any fix
I can't feel loved
I can't trust doves
There is no olive branch
I just can't do it
I need you
To tell me that it was all nothing
I need you
To validate all my fears of yesterday
I need you
To comfort me and keep me away from this perilous void
I need you
To talk me out of all my fantasies
I try to work and my stomach hurts
I've got a dull ache in my pit
I always feel I'm gonna be sick
Or collapse from the weight he passed on to me
I hear that word and the wound reopens
And the blood flows out and everybody stares
And there I am on the floor writhing in pain again
Panicking because he's still here
Even though he haven't been for years now
I feel myself a woundless victim
And nobody can understand just what it is that eats away
I'm left like this, hopeless, unemployed
Because I can't face day-to-day regularly after him
My world ruptures and splits apart
The scattered shards have jagged edges and cut at my skin
I'm bulimic from disgust with what I've done
And what he's done to me
I need you
To tell me that it was all nothing
I need you
To validate all my fears of yesterday
I need you
To comfort me and keep me away from this perilous void
I need you
To talk me out of all my fantasies
I need you
To take me into your arms and reignite passion
I need you
To portray what love really is and was always meant to be
I need you
To love me till my cheeks are rose
I need you
To help me reclaim my sexuality
I need you
Because there couldn't be anyone else
I need you
To show me proper conflict resolve
I need you
Because you prove there's still hope in this desolate world
I need you
To disagree with all of my philosophies
I need you
To prove that I am worthy of your love
I need you
To baptize my bruised body with your kisses
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
