There’s always a yearning for the male form
More than just a body to keep me warm
But a heart to beat outside my chest 
A love that knows me better than the rest 
And yet I stumble 
And it feels like love is a jungle
Coz I put my whole self out there
Then he tells me that I don’t care 
That I’m just making rhymes
And that it means nothing, just a sign of the times
So I retract
Say, fuck that shit, and I take back 
What I had given free 
Because you will not do that to me 
And his face drops 
You would have sworn I had called the cops 
On his ass
And nothing of my class
Betrays my sigh
For I will love him til the day that I die 
And in between 
When everything is a dream 
And plays upon the screen 
Of day to day
His lip quivers and he is not okay
But I just have to release him to her grasp
Because he says we cannot last
And with every attempt I make 
He just says that I am fake 
And I watch as the wave break 
Across the sand
He wants me to understand
And I do 
But it’s not getting through to you 
So I let you pass
And hope sometime that your star will dart
Across my sky again 
I give up on the realm of men
