I am nothing without pretend

I know my thoughts

Can't live with them

I am nothing without a man

I know my faults

But I can't hide them

I still keep my baby teeth

In the bedside table with my jewelry

You still sleep in the bed with me,

My jewelry and my baby teeth

I don't need another friend

When most of them

I can barely keep up with

I'm perfectly able to hold my own hand,

but I still can't kiss my own neck

I wanted to give you everything

but I still stand in awe of superficial things

I wanted to love you like my mother's mother's mothers did
