civilian

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
