I have to have
A man nearby
And if not
Then I will find
The next best thing/
A boy in a man’s
Clothing
Disguised as someone
to respect and admire
But a dirty dog
The ultimate trickster
Who I attract most times
Because
I cannot be by myself
And he is a master
At smelling desperation
And loathing/
So he lies next to me
I feel his sweet breath and warm body
And get what I need at the third hour
So I can sleep soundly/
Everyone needs someone to love
