I find being single and dating at age 53 confusing as hell There is no sympathy for a woman's life that appears swell While receiving multiple "Good morning beautiful" texts is quite sweet I am too guarded to be swept off my feet Tonight I treated myself to an early dinner of wine and duck confit Meanwhile three men fight over the view at the bar where I sit I know I am a catch, extremely smart and a striking tall beauty Some would love to have my problem, but call me crazy The truth is juggling multiple offers gives me high anxiety A woman such as myself doesn't expect anyone's sympathy Of course, I just wanna die with the one I love beside me* Yet, I have no idea how to evaluate who this should be I don't have time to date this many suitors, but who do I tell? So, to comfort myself, on the way home I stopped for Taco Bell. ~Just L (November 3, 2016) Author's Note: * "Just wanna die with the one I love Beside me" is a line from "Honey Come Home" by The Head and the Heart. |
