Single’s Solace

This sudden spurt of yearning
Desire tearing at me
Catch my breath in surprise
And close my eyes so that maybe
It’ll go away

It’s been months since
My lips have last graced another’s
And I was fine till a moment ago

My senses heightened
I need someone by my side
Forget about love for now,
I just want the sex

I hold back from flirting
‘Cause I know where it’ll lead
And it’s not where I really
Want to be

I picture phantoms whispering in my hair
Nibbling on my ear
But I know no one’s really there
Just my imagination, my fear…

I feel shivers run along my skin
Excitement that won’t be quenched
I ache for fading fantasy
That has my mind drenched
In possibility

I was strong on my own
Long before I first fell
And after I stood up again
I gained my strength again
So why am I falling apart all over again?
With no one behind me but the wind…

All I can do is dream of two
And hope to bury it deep
While I focus on my goals for life

And this secret I will keep
Wavering on the edge of sanity
