Forget Making Me Happy

If you really want someone to love you You should set aside making them happy And just focus on why you love them. We’re all flawed, I am certain you know too, For when feeling unloved we feel crappy Though our egos might shine at the gym! Hard enough to believe that she values Things inside that you doubt people notice For self-doubt is where most of us live. Though her love might look real, doubt continues, The intransigent fear of a lotus, Holding beauty is not much to give. So don’t think you’re to blame if rejected Even God has to struggle with this one It’s just part of the dance we go through. Groucho Marx to all friendships objected Never sought any club’s satisfaction So sure devil had staked out his due. Simply tell me you love what you’re seeing And you hope that I also have noticed Some traits charming enough to be fair. I don’t care if we’re ever agreeing, Or if you will be true the remotest, Please just drag me back home to your lair. Long Tooth June 2, 2016
