Single for life

Single for life Alone I stride in life contented and glad, No need of love, for it can make one sad Just me and my mind, never divided we two Free from worries, that come with being wooed. False peace and joy in possessions gleaned, A lonely life brings the chance to dream Friends come and go, but I am unchanged, My friends would never try to rearrange. No angst from arguments, no flaring of the heart, A life free of love, into that I take a start Just me and my cat, we take to my bed of flowers, No angst to cloud my hours. Lasting friendship with no fear of betrayal, That’s the life I’ve elected and never can fail I’ve picked a life of single pleasure and content, The chance of love I’m never meant.
