Denouncing traditional beliefs concerning the necessity of couplehood

Flipping through in my own head
All that was is now quite dead
Spinning yarns and spinning hope
The spinster needs no man to grope
Can I,may I take this chance
A life lived full without romance
Never needing their approval
Instinct lusting chip removal
Finding each day full and merry
Wish I never gave my cherry
To a gruff and worthless bloke
Too late now,it's turned a joke
Laughing at this sexual curse
Can stop it all before much worse
My escapades have become
Something daft and feeling numb
I turn my head from all the games
Endless nights,forgotten names
Pity please the hopless ones
All their lives spent on the run
Chasing reflections never caught
Broken hearts,tears hard fought
All of this is not my style
I tried that costume for awhile
I'm tired of going against my will
In my cards is not this ill
And sickly game of cat and mouse
But what is left if not a spouse?
Become an upstanding member
Of a group in smoldering embers
It may not be the popular choice
But in it I can find my voice
No longer will I wail and brood
Learn to love my solitude
Once I find out how it's done
I'll be a happy force of one

 

"I'm tired of going against my will"

It certainly does wear one out.
