It always seem to be this way <br />my relationships just don’t last <br />time seems to be runnin’ out <br />and my clock is tickin’ fast <br />I’ve been reckless with the quickies <br />Even played the mistress too <br />what’s a single mom past forty <br />want a man to do <br /> <br />I want someone to cherish me <br />caress me with respect <br />not always tryin’ to figure out <br />how to put my mind in check <br /> <br />Forget the empty promises <br />I deserve a committin’ man <br />don’t fly by here to see me <br />if you don’t intend to land <br /> <br />I’ve got a lot of love to give <br />perhaps I give too much <br />just to feel companionship <br />from a good man’s mental touch <br /> <br />I know it’s time to end my search <br />and ask God for my mate <br />turn deaf ears to the ticks <br />I’m better off to wait!<br /><br />Judy Gaines<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tick-tock-81/
