if love were indeed under scrutiny here

I would be blind sided by the fact

anyway, where has it gotten me lately

standing in the middle of mess after mess

wandering what it was at that very moment I,

this time, so obviously lacked

for disappointment I have quite a knack

note though that one day I'll get my own back

oh, to feel that grand feeling of belonging

one last time

even if only for a brief scintillating instant

I could go on and on about it for hours

if to me, your patient ears you lent

but love for me as yet wasn't meant

but where have all these glorious men I once loved

where have they all went

the independent wondering of curious thoughts I

can not prevent

to every side of every  story there is more than one

point of view

perhaps what I'm saying on my behalf past involved

parties would not perceive such remarks as true

there is one man in particular I would love to put

this question to

Did you want me ( D.T.S.) even half so much as I

then wanted you?

what lies you told

tell me what ones were true?

one man I used to be in love with got married

earlier this very morning

along with tht news

realization that we can never be nearly as close

as we once were came to me with little or no

warning

for a better life with someone new I'll give myself

a sporting good chance

but this time  for both our sakes I hope I

recognize the signs of dysfunction long in advance

I've heard it said love can be seen in the

infatuated face of a man

if that were indeed true love I think I wouldn't

suggest you buy that brand

until I find what I am inherently searching for

I'll stay where I so solidly stand

with my head out of the clouds and my feet firmly

planted on the land

for the best

that's all of which I demand

of myself

I am in full command..........
