Will I settle for love?

I don't want

a **********

a *** slave

a *****

I don't need

a housekeeper

a nurse

a cook

I don't want

a supermodel

a CEO

a politician

I don't need

an introvert

an extrovert

a pervert

I just want

someone to hold me

and do my laundry

(from time to time)

Notes: Somewhat inspired by Rufus Wainwright - Want. I also lie several times in this poem (...I would like someone to cook for me, yes).
