Some might say I’m lucky
Some might say I have it all
Some might say I’m free
At no one’s beck and call
Sure I can do
What I want
Stay out late
No one waiting at home
But I’ve been given enough rope
To hang myself with
Too much of a good thing
Isn’t the way I want to live
I want someone to worry
I want someone to wait up
I want someone to give a shit about me
Reign me in when I’m acting up
I want someone to have my back
Walk with me along this road
A partnership is what I lack
I want someone to share the load
I’m not needy
I’m independent
I can provide for myself
But being solitary is relentless
For too long now
I’ve had to be strong
And I’m weary of it
I crave a hand to hold
Don’t think me weak
For being honest
We all thrive on love
There’s just not enough of it
The single life
Long ago
Lost it’s charm –
I want to build a home!
With someone who
Will compliment
This life I’ve built
Because I’m almost spent
And some TLC
Wouldn’t go amiss
Someone to hold
To hug and kiss
Freddie nailed it
In his song
“Can anybody
Find me someone
To love?”,
Because I’m full of the stuff
I just don’t know what to do with it
And it’s tough
Guess I’ll put it in storage
Along with my hopes and dreams
Keep waiting for something to materialise
Keep the faith and see if it peace brings
But I can’t wait forever
For that deadline has actually passed
Now I’m into eternity
Or rather purgatory, what a laugh!!!
The littlest hobo
All by myself
Putting on a front
That all is well
When inside I’m actually
Throwing a tantrum
Bound in chains
Trapped in a vacuum
Devoid of passion
And intimacy
Completely boxed in
Yearning to be free
To express
That side of myself
That is beyond ready
To get the f**k off this shelf!!!
