Loveless

Someone For Everyone?

By Earl W. PearlPublished 5 months ago Updated 5 months ago 1 min read

I’ve shown my broken heart the door

I’m finally tapping out

I won some battles, lost the war

Of that there’s little doubt

Pathetic dude out closing bars

This “movie” always flops

I’m like a dog out chasing cars

Bewildered when it stops

Who said, “There’s someone made for all”

Was that to give us hope

Who’s catching those like me who fall

Who’s tossing ME a rope

I’ve been their muse, just not their want

An on-line dating hack

They like my “letter,” not my font

My mojo’s way off track

Depression now has mandated

I put this tale to bed

I’m unfulfilled and frustrated

By cur-sed words unsaid
