The Plague

Here's my problem with

"He's all wrong for you:"

do you have anyone lined up who is "all right" for me?

I may be too good for him in your eyes,

but who actually counts the tally?

You fuss and insult until finally

I drive us apart because

I can't stand being with someone

you've convinced me I'm better than.

Then within hours you're dragging me out,

wondering out loud

why I can't get over such a low life.

But what I don't see

are all of these guys, who you deem acceptable,

lined up to love me.

I see years alone,

and an unfinished break up

to plague me.
