Failure As a Man

Sometimes I feel so lonely
I no longer want to live
My heart is so full of sadness
Yet I'm such a romantic guy
With so much love to give.

All I ever wanted
Was a wife and children of my own
As a man and human being
I feel such a failure
And I'm so tired of being alone.

Seems it's not enough
To be loving caring funny and kind
I just can't take no more
I'm going out of my mind.

Everywhere Look I see women I can never have
Children that will never call me Dad
Couples together looking so happy
Walking hand in hand
I'm happy for them
But still feel a failure as a human being
And failure as a man.

Oh Peter this is such a sad poem - never give up hope of finding that special someone - none of us know who or what is around the corner:-) Hugs Jan xx 7 xx
