S-I-N-G-L-E
Letters that alphabetically suppresses me mentally
Almost depressively
I lay sleepless
Imagining the arms of another surrounding me
I want a real man
but all I hear are dogs hounding me
Because attention to the lonely is like attention to the weak
But the span of this situation is too loose so it just leaks and
eventually, leaves me waiting for the next stray to come along
Night and day go on too long
I get sick to my stomach when I hear those cheesy as love songs
Or when I see those couples that are so intertwined
that their actions are like Siamese twins
Where the girl ends the guy begins
I’m not jealous
just displeased
we're standing in the same line
but for some reason happiness hit them
and for some reason skipped over me.
I swear that I would flap to stay afloat
or gasp for air if it didn’t make me look like I was in despair
So for now I will continue into the blue
hoping some one will notice and come to my rescue
To feel the breathes of another revive the life of mine
so that now
they are so intertwined in line with me
