He Said/She Said

by Desiree - Virgo

He called her up
just the other day,
and showed he cared
in a special way,
said she needed 
to find a gentle man,
who could support her
the best he can.
She said she hasn't
dated in quite a while,
she already has her son...
why put more on the pile,
thanks again, for being a friend
trying to help, she said,
I don't need a man,
just need to get my kid fed.
She's dying inside
for she's alone,
but she couldn't tell him
on the telephone,
She just plays it cool
as if she weren't hurting,
even though she wished
she could be flirting,
There is a guy 
that she's interested in,
but she confines her-self
in bitterness from within,
not willing to release the pain
and start brand new,
for she knows the good guys
are the ones that come by few,
So she barries her-self,
in the burden of self pity,
neglecting love
yet striving for beauty,
determined to be happy
though she remains sappy.

Reason for writing:

    I've been single for months now, and my friends believe
a man would help relieve my stress. I hate being alone and
yet I can't stand being tied down. So no matter what I do
I'll always be discontent.
