woman that wishes
i wasn't
she constantly
reminds me that
she's looking forsomething better
i know she will
eventually find it
for now, i can
still dream that
the impossible
has a chanceeventually,
loneliness will
reclaim her space
as my only constant
companion

JJ! ONCE agaaaaain, very Depressing! But I guess Id better get used to that because thats your MO, HUH?; your Staple!... I like this little poem; Simple & Sweet(NOT the idea it expresses but the expression of the idea-as OLD and as Familiar as The Hills!0=BUT ISNT it though?)... WHat I say is a song of Diana Ross': "GOOD Morning Heartache!; Sit Down!..." Well, its not bad ot Dream, but then if UR deluding yourself, but then if theres the choice of that of facing the ever-present Loneliness, the Better of Two Evils Right?!... AT least you can have SOME Happiness pretending that it will work out & you both will be together in the end, even though you know deep in your soul you are lying to yourself... Self-Delusion DOES have its Place & Chronically Fated Lonely people DO need their "Fixes"... But the "coming Up" would have "been WORTH the Eventual 'Going Down'"(Kris Kristofferson). Why cant you get a long-term girlfriend? It just doesntsnt happen for U?.... U arent attractive; obviously attractive; NOT boring!; a writer... I ave a very a very very hard time finding long-term relationships myself, & sometime feel its a God\Fate thing, likr Im cursed, pointed out for this & no matter what I do nor HOW attractive & personable I am, it will always end up tjis way=Hopelessness; Despair!... I feel I am NOT like other people & DONT get to decide my own destiny; Fate\God\The 'FORCE' Etc have decided it for me Eons ago & I am just the pawn of a Destiny already "rigged"... Do U feel like that sometimes?... Now look whose depressing WHO?1 Ironic Huh?!... I live of moments of Happiness Here & There; A Few Drops of Happiness in This Life has had endure a Lifetime of Loneliness and still ONgoing...
