And I will sleep with the ghosts

I'm a confirmed bachelor and sometimes I feel guilty about this. But then again, I read about the marital difficulties of old classmates and neighbors and sometimes, I'm not so sure that I should regret not tying the knot.


 Married high school boyfriend,


divorced high school boyfriend.


The love of my life turned out to


be the louse of my life.


 


Married with a baby 


and a baby on the way,


but needs more 


than one woman.


 


Seeing you again


only this time with him


stick the knife in 


and twist it about.


 


All my friends say


it's easy to fake a smile 


on Friday night


with somebody else.


 


These are hard times for lovers


people say I need to be


me without you.


 


And I will go home 


all alone and cry


over someone 


I haven't seen since...

Standing On My Knees by Pinkstone

I met Jerome on a busy city street in Baltimore, Maryland, when he was forty-five years old. On that particular day, I was out and about, enjoying a much-needed day off from work. I wanted to purchase a sukiyaki sub. I parked my car in an area of
