The Spreading of Gifts

As if life wasn't hard enough.
Today made it so much more tough.
My self-confidence almost didn't exist.
Now it is all but dismissed. 

Finding a decent women is hard task
Now I feel I shouldn't even ask.
I don't even want to try anymore.
They have slam shut and locked the door.

I am lost, don't know what to do now.
I must push on through but I don't know how.
There are so many questions I have like why?
No one will answer me, no one on which I can rely.

It has been five long years since my last time.
Now my life was stopped on a dime.
So to my girlfriend who cheated on me a long time ago.
Thanks, but the gift you gave me will never go.
