I could write you a love poem,
but what would I fill it with?

How you ignore me?
How you reject me?
How you yourself search for men
and have another?

Would I fill it with...

The absence of your eyes?
the absence of your touch?
the absence of your voice?
the way we used to hold each other


as I try to fill your place,
find your replacement

It has become a revolving door of women
these seeming soulless boring uninteresting women

How many have there... been?
Jo, ja nevim. I don't know,
I lost count at 1,2... ten.

2 more, just this weekend
and 2 more scheduled for this week
1 I already know won't work
They all want a repeat date and then...

(sigh)

Why do I try?
Why do I even meet them?

Is it really better than being alone?
Paying for someone's dinner and movie
just to have someone to talk to
and the possibility of...

(sigh)

Wait wait

So, what is a man to do?

...as I mentioned to someone earlier today...
quit trying.  Quit worrying about tomorrow and enjoy today...with or without company...and tomorrow will find you!
