She used to think
she had a type
the opposites attract type
crush after crush
left in crash fatigue on
high and dry freeway
Her hair is thinning
waistline is disappearing
She wonders anyone
will consider her
their type
She feels the desperation of want
simultaneously of unwanted
her lonely day stretches into the night
like the spilled vinaigrette
greasy, sour and stained
She gathers all pieces
starts swiping for the remaining hope
kind eyes
mean nose
lips that will make her cum
testosterone filled body
a sizable boner
She used to think
she had a type
the type that makes her feel 16
all over again
And now
she will settle for a type
that will soothe her heat rash
like an ice block
hard and cold

Thank you… I have been wanting to write about it for a while, just not sure how I approach it. Glad it fell out ok. 😁😊

Human emotion is very difficult to write about. We tend to confuse our own wants and desires with our ‘character’.
If I may make a suggestion: you may benefit by reading some books by a few poets that your writing reminds me of.
Those being: “Nine Hoses” by Billy Collins… also: “Morning Poems” by Robert Bly… just to name two.
I do believe you may enjoy them.
I hope I didn’t overstep my boundaries.
It’s just all… IMHO 🙂
Blessings….

Morning poems! Must be my almost daily poetry post. 😊
Love the recommendation. It’s good to do the reverse. I write first, then read the famous’ work. I will let you know how I go with Nine Horses. Thank you!

a like button wasn’t enough. I like this. It needed saying. You found a raw nerve in this over 45 woman, and then made it ok. Well done.

When we feel love is unattainable, we often desire lust as the next best thing… (in this context, lust is a natural word, not negative)
