Searching for love in an endless vacuum

Searching for love in an endless vacuum.

The female heart is complicated.

Love comes and goes and we are left deflated.

When all that we want is to always be loved,

Sometimes we are,

Sometimes we are not…enough.

The heart of this man is not to be trusted,

According to the mistakes I have made; those days I have wasted.

The reality of love does not compare to the idea.

People are forever passing through relationships, like they are years.

The wonders of love are so rarely seen,

That some people truly believe that romance is all just a dream;

Some would say that romance has become extinct.

Those are the people who have never seen,

The heart that beats inside of me.

If I believe, then there must be others.

If I keep the faith

And do not measure my self-worth by the quantity of lovers,

But rather by their qualities.

Maybe one day I will find the true love that I seek…

Maybe this is all stupidity,

But I believe in love.

So you go ahead and do as you please;

I will remain as one, alone,

While you are all left searching for love,

In the depths of your phone.

I may be lost, but I am better off,

If all you have is a profile.

I want a love that is worthwhile.

I want to be loved, not just loved for a while.

Feelings change, that I understand,

But can you please tell me,

What is the point of a one night stand!?

Go ahead and feed your ego…ego…go.

I will happily watch you go away with so-and-so.

You do not even remember their names,

Because in the end they are just a name

And nothing remains of that night but a memory.

Are all your memories not just the same?

Getting drunk, having fun,

Mistakes made, but we have no shame!

You are not to blame for generation change,

But I am living a different way.

Real love, real feelings.

Real stories on every page.

You see me lie

And still you smile,

“Oh what about the little green men that you wrote about!”

I had no doubt that you would mention them,

But they were only ever spoken of in jest,

Lest ye forget,

The contradictions that I swear I never said.
