I've had lots of romance come into my life
and almost as quickly depart.
Each fatal attraction began with the eyes
and worked its way down to my heart
I really should have learned; after the first
and tried to move on with some cool.
But one drink of love only deepened my thirst
I tried it again - what a fool!.
But once I'd accepted my stupidity
and taken some time out to think
I did a self audit to get clarity
and finally decided love's stink
I said to myself “Self you need to get real,
and focus on what you're good at;
forget all those muscleheads copping a feel
you can do much better than that!
Get into life girl - grab on to its’ shorts
You’re getting nowhere where you are
Your viewpoint of love has a serious distort
and all you'll have left is the scar!!”
The wisdom of self I accept gratefully
who better to give me advice
but no matter how far away it might be
I'd like to find somebody nice
A wonderful lover who'll be my best friend
Intelligent, loyal and kind
Preferably a poet, or some-one like that
He must have a creative mind
I hope it will happen – well maybe it might
I’ve had enough practice I know
I know that he's out there, my true Mr Right
But when is he going to show???
