Solitary Rose

I have concluded that I will be single for the better part of the next decade. These years are for my children. Plus, no man walking the face of this earth will jump into a relationship with a single mother of three with a lifelong debilitating disease. Who could blame them? Why is a woman that doesn’t need a man so scary? It’s not like I can turn men to stone. That was just the first guy.

Valentine

My Valentine red Is the shine of taillights  As he drives away To the souls left alone On a day that highlights love Grab some of it for yourself  When dreams dreamt Become memory dust You are with you  Till death do you part Appreciate what you have inside  Before it’s gone

Lengthy Distance

I only want love if it’s free To come and go as it pleases The kind of love that waits all year Just to spend five minutes with me It is the same now  That is was three years ago That it will be six years from now No chase What is meant for me  Will always find me Taste my trauma and still Ask me for a second helping I’m at a place in my life Where the lies don’t stick They do not belong to me The lies belong to someone else The ones you’re with When you’re not thinking of me The deceits are not my worry Only come here  When you need truth 

The Chase

There is no chase left in these legs They followed love for fourteen years But I just couldn’t keep up And as I lay in my misery  I found more love to chase More mistakes to make I have learned a lot Broken on the bathroom floor  I sure did learn a lot But I don’t want to learn no more The saddest years of my life  I spent chasing hunters   That could never be caught Better predators that I The more foreign the better They can run farther than ever I have learned a lot Beaten down on the kitchen floor I sure did learn a lot But I don’t want to learn no more My feet don’t seek to follow These daydreams anymore Those men can just keep running  Trying to escape themselves  Just as much as they are me Who will tell them they’ll never be free? I have learned a lot Broken on the bedroom floor I sure did learn a lot But I damn sure don’t want to learn no more
