Sad Lonely Me Flux

It must be 8 years plus now
Without a lover
The touch of another 
And I am 44 years of age
Do you think that is strange? 
Because I know others do 
I know people question
And given the circumstances so would I
What is wrong with him
Is he Arthur or is he Mather 
But the simple truth is
I have become so good 
At being on my own 
My lust has gone
For putting upon
My happiness unto another 
If I have made it thus far
And I set the bar above my station 
Then what the hell 
Is the point of letting go
Of what I am accustomed 
What I have learned to miss
Yes I do miss
But I can live with
An empty bed
And the loneliness in my head
And my heart of heart's 
That other's seem to can't 
I am not blunt or dead inside 
And the though of arriving home alone
Sows ever increasing regret
But I still haven't met
The 1 to break the cycle
And I don't think I ever will
And there is no pill
No epiphany 
No solution 
No resolution 
But thankfully 
I can rely on the fact
It doesn't consume my time
My shoulders are broad
And I can ill afford 
To fall victim of love
Although everyone wants me 2
And so do i
But if it has not happened yet
Then so be it
It's not the end of the world
It is what it is
