An ode to single people

Poem

By Michael GuerriniPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

certainly known i’ll always be lonely,

So I built my life to only want money

Accustomed to the sweet lie

Thinking it is worthy to die

Wrapped in a ball and chain,

Unable to fly

love is reserved for the worthy,

So basically, everyone else but me

Always out of reach

To grab and take the ecstasy we like to preach

a trap open to all

as we cant avoid...always fall

Something that all seems to be too late to teach

even though the 2 people who come together as 1 may live the longest

those that walk the lonely road all their life are always the strongest

Difficult to accept I’ll never find love,

Lust, friendship and validation

as I was picked for answer e….none of the above

How I yearn for the bittersweet taste of death I’d say

As that would be the only thing in my life that would go my way

To all the women I sought after

But matched with another

I thank you for helping me to walk the assuring path of meeting the grim reaper

As I embrace my solo death

while sad to know love won’t be the experience I get to ponder in my life before my final breath

Im still glad to avoid the dreadful woes of coupledom and the minimal freedom I had before I left

To those who walk the empty road

i salute you walking with open wounds

As I unleash my woes

One last time before I go
