You Never Sheltered Me

I needed consolation
not your false admiration
I looked for sanctuary

That was too much to ask

I needed empathy
or at least sympathy
I looked for recognition

That was too much to ask

I needed some connection
not fleeting false affection
I looked for something living

That was too much to ask

I needed mystery
not my hopes atrophy
I looked for something sacred

That was too much to ask

You never sheltered me

I looked for sanctuary
I looked for recognition
I needed consolation

That was too much to ask

I looked for something living
I looked for something sacred
I needed some connection

That was too much to ask

You never sheltered me
