How my heart aches
In my soul, I have an idea of love
Want to be in love, want to know intimacy
This desire burns in me so deeply
Deeper than my desire to act
Or entertain, or become prosperous, or famous, or successful
It's a burn ing deep in my core, just to be loved
A monogamous love, a really sweet special love
Well this burning desire in me ever cease
Isn't even s**ual. It's love
But perhaps I'm going to have to love myself first
Really learn to respect myself
Really learn to value myself, treat myself good
I know, I know deeper than anything I've ever known
That just like Mykki Blanco
Just like my poetry book
Just like the man, if I keep myself open
Intimacy will find me
