MAYBE IT'S MY INSECURITY

by WISHBONE - Virgo

I fell asleep last night alone
My body pressed tightly to the wall
As if it were to give me 
Some kind of comfort
And it did
I had reassurance
To make me believe
I wasn't unaccompanied

And I awoke to that same barricade
I went to sleep with
The same damn wall
That holds us apart 
Because we're to stubborn
To tear it down

I can't handle this feeling
Of abandonment

I remember 
When I was a little girl
Couldn't have been more then four
Wading in the turquoise ocean
The waves rushing up on me
And I'd run fast back to shore
Before they could catch me
There I'd see mom 
Laying in the sun 
She'd smile 
And I'd go back for more
I went out farther then I should have
Which wasn't really that far
But when you're little 
An inch seems like a million feet
And the waves took me under 
And I drifted so far down the beach
That when I came up
My mom was out of sight
I looked for her 
And I cried when I didn't see her
But a stranger came to me
And brought me back to her
I never was deserted
She saw me along.

Maybe you need a stranger
To bring you back to me.
