Singleton

I've lowered my expectations from idiot height
and still scare men off before the first date
Do I have desperate writ large on my forehead?
I'm so sadly aware I can't get a mate

Prey

I won't trust you or relax
But I'll smile and pretend
And this carapace of ice
Will fool you in the end
You'll think you'll have me won
But you can't own a soul
And when you try to find my heart
You'll find a bleeding hole

Eyetest

My taste in men is far worse than my eyesight

Are my rosetinted spectacles to blame?

One Night

An exchange of saliva, not heart Makes it easier when the time comes to depart ©cih06

The Obsessor

I get overly optimistic
Interpret everything as signs that you'll love me eternal
Which, I suppose, you may well do
But only in a manner fraternal
