Single

Single till taken

Wanted maiden

Pursued by many

Like a new penny

Steady and strong

Trying to prove her wrong

Singing his love song

Romance is nice

But France comes with a price

Not sure if she wants to roll the dice

Needs some advice

Entices her mind

Wonders in time

If he’ll trade her up for a dime

Does he know forever’s a longtime

Clever is she

Endeavors take time

Walls to climb

Will he reach her in the nick of time

Or is this just another crime

A part time lover is a hard pass

Her heart’s made of glass

Wants love that lasts

Scarred by her past

Lies were told

Left without someone to hold

This lesson is old

Takes off her blindfold

Clearly she sees

He loves her dearly

Sincerely he waits

Date after date

Wants to call her his sole-mate

Curious if she’s wasting time

Happiness is a state of mind

Is their status better left undefined

Doesn’t want to be left behind

She’ll always say love is blind

Maybe she should just resign

And stay single till the end of time
