Let Me Know I'm Still Alive

I've never felt so dead inside,
I've never been this cold.
I've never felt so useless,
Like a story left untold.
I'm searching for security.
I need to feel I'm safe.
I need to feel I'm wanted,
Somewhere other than his embrace.
I'm asking you to hold me,
I don't need a thing more.
I'm not asking you to love me,
Or touch me to the core.
I just need to know I'm still alive,
That he didn't take my soul
That winter night he left me
Outside crying in the cold.
I need to know my heart still beats.
I need to feel that rush.
Sexual desires building up
Until it all becomes too much.
We don't have to take it farther,
I just had to see
That when he left he didn't take
Everything there was to me.
