I am about to go to sleep

to take a woman
in my arms

that I could care less about

well
no
more than any person
recently met

you know
how you feel
when you meet someone who seems
neat
nice
cool

who seems to be a good person

you kind of like them
but
really
without any shared history
you
cant really care that much about them

that's
how I feel

this woman
naked and warm
comforting as she will be in my arms

I just cant bring myself
to
care about her
any more
that a stranger

which I suppose she is


and

quite frankly
I wish she meant more
but
she does not

and

I think

maybe

I am too old for this shit

too old for meaningless women
and
casual sex

too old for romping around
like
I am twenty two

maybe
just maybe

it is time for me to grow up

only

there is a part of myself
that says

why?

for who?

and I can only guess
but
I have to think
that

as long as I act this way

I will never find
the woman I want

the woman who I can marry

instead doomed
to string of beautiful
but empty women
of empty affairs

that only leave me feeling worse

True love man... it used to be so easy.

I know

all you really needed

was a well constructed mask
and
a trusty swashbuckling sword

I find myself wishing I had anything I could say to this. Different expressions, same base sentiment I've begun to feel gnawing at me...

i rather think
you did quite well
actually

and your thought
is most welcome and appreciated

i've been having lots of conversations about monogamy and nonmonogamy lately... kind of circling around meaningless sex...

perhaps it's in the air.
