Settle For Less?

You think I'm hard to please? If so, do share
A way I might appease my dreams by way
Of dulling down my tastes. My wants less rare,
I might have better luck in love today!
If I could somehow long for something less...
A puncture maybe rather than a kiss?
A clawed paw in the place of a caress?
If I could love my hates I'd conquer this...

If I but had the will to end my quest,
To settle for a monster's dim dim charms,
I could put all my hopes and dreams to rest;
No need to fill the space between my arms.
If only I would end this trying wait,
I'd have a lover - one I'd really hate.

Please tell me what you think

  • Settling is definitely overrated, stranger. You end up hating yourself more than the other person.

    Nicely worded.
