It's not you

it’s not you

it’s me

and my

pre-conceived

notions

built on

fables and flicks

and urban

legends

told to me

over campfires

and cocoa

so don’t blame

yourself

I came here with

tunnel of love

vision

filled with

my father’s ideals

and my mother’s

idea of

what is good for me

and what’s bad

for my heart, health

and soul

I trust in

these inner

voices

to gauge

my outer vision

in my quest

for absolute

perfection

and that’s

why I am still

single at

forty seven
