Got divorced many
Years
Ago
Yet I go on
Acting married
Never acted
Single
      
Looking for the wrong
Things to say
Time to say them
Never putting on the
Appropriate mask
Never playing the
Right games
      
Go out
Wander through the
Bars
But I never
Fit the picture
Join in the
Fun
     
It's all so
Alien to
Me
World I don't
Understand
Unable to take
Part in
      
Merely contemplating
All I'd have to learn
Change
Makes me tremble
How would I
Put away my
Defenses
     
How would I
Learn what to
Do
Know what to say and do to
Sleep alone
But not to find a
Lover
      
Part of my education I've
Totally
Ignored
Being single
Playful
Fun
Together
      
Will I ever
Find the
Way
Ready for the
Mistakes
Failure
Success
      
Become so content
Tucked safely within my
Shell
Will I ever find the
Urge to
Shed
It
       
Comfortable
Happy now with
Alone
Satisfied to
Forget I'm single
Keep acting
Married
