It seems my world is crumbling down
And I'm left standing as the sad clown
The two I loved so much
Figured they'd had enough
Oh how I miss their touch
My armor and shield really aren't that tough
Wow one of my biggest bluffs

I feel...
I feel like my hands are cuffed
Making me want to pull out these tufts, of hair
And try to forget about that pair
I can't with all the memories we share
God how much more can I bare

Oh the one next to me
Maybe she'll be best for me
The way she moves
So sexily
But I fear for the brevity
With no levity
I will miss the ecstasy
The pair brought to me
They still want to talk to me?

It's time for me to turn my back
Face a new direction
Hit the sack
And forget about perfection
I'll be back
Without fear of rejection

The ending of this poem, Slim, sounds like the right thing to do.

Yep. I agree with Jerry, Slim.

More feelings and fewer words please
