Standards
Why
Am I
Still
A Single
Item?
Perhaps
it is
Ridiculous
Expectations
I possess
Out of habit
Can’t be helped
Apparently
I can’t have
A man with
All my desires
Do I want
To be kissed
On the hand
And treated like
A medieval princess?
Yes.
What about if
He had heliotrope
Hair and perpetual
Eyebags but the
Softest touch and
The sweetest tongue?
Also yes.
Or what if
I wanted to
Have late night
Soliloquies out loud
While we laughed
And exchanged banter?
Yes, as well.
And even so,
Eyes of sapphire,
Loyalty of titanium,
Resolve of platinum,
Grip on my
Waist: firm feathers?
Sign me up.
It’s a shame
That my viewing
Of fictitious men
Has tainted my
View of the
Real life ones.
