I saw a YouTube video where
single women
were complaining about men
no longer wanting them
for serious relationships.
Their pain was tangible,
but the way they went on
moaning and complaining
I found myself thinking that
I was grateful that I didn’t
have a woman in my life.
They reminded me of how
having a woman in my life
could be nice at first
but eventually a liability
when the excitement cooled down,
when the aggravations came out,
when the complaints surfaced.
And when the arguments began,
and I become disappointed and unhappy.
