Sologamy

 

the chair is against the wall
no more kids in the hall
no more pushing swings
no more exchanging rings
the store registers don’t ching
just self checkout
but i already checked out
i try to check the math
but their answers
don’t check out
i know the right ain’t right either
i feel left out
over run
come undone
no more time in the sun
no more nights of fun
am i the only one?
obviously not
how can you feel love
tied in knots
much more than barriers
worse than a moat
you ruined my breakfast
made me burn my toast
i still woofed it down
but it hurt my throat
can someone turn me from frog to prince?
with just a simple kiss?
probably not
so there is no point to miss…
a maiden that does not exist
and never has…
still looking for my better half
sologamy
maybe
i should just marry me
have a big ceremony
but only invite myself
should i wear a dress?
my hair is always such a mess…
or don a veil?
oh i mustn’t do that…
it would only remind me of your betrayals…
be a man!
wear a suit…
that tie and those laces…
fit me like a noose…
what would be my vows?
sean i promise to love and cherish myself
well at least for now…
short attention span theater
special double feature
a type of Frankenstein
mixed with the elephant man
what a vile hideous creature…
well at least i'm not a leecher!
that might be true
but you are lost
and none will seek ya…
is there a point to carry on
thanks to the shots that make one glow
i dare not travel
no more carry-ons
things were simpler when i played with my crayons
lipstick smears
mascara runs
perfume wafts
i miss your embrace in my once happy arms
i long for your charms
i should not have caused you such harm.
