Plenty of them around to look at and talk to.

And none of them want you.

This is Hell.

To want what you can’t get
and only get
what you don’t want.

My love life a Twilight Zone episode I can’t turn off.

Nobody’s first choice.
The safety school of relationships.
A Nice Place to Visit
but I don’t want to live here.

Lord, help me live purely and love purely.
Because my own strength is,
as always,
woefully inadequate.
