We maneuver, dissemble, negotiate
I love you, please don't let me be
alone
We pretend, project, prostitute
I love you, please don't let me be
untouched
We cheapen, compromise, connive
I love you, please don't let me be
poor

I want to laugh with you
I want to fuck you
Do i love you?
Do you love yourself?
