…being alone never felt right. sometimes it felt good, but it never felt right. – Charles Bukowski, Women
Women.
Spent a good part of my life
chasing women
and not catching them.
Boy, did that make me unhappy.
I’d catch one
and soon find myself unhappy.
I’d lose one,
which didn’t always make me
unhappy. Except when it did,
so I could replace her
with another woman.
With whom I’d be happy with
for a while,
but then I’d soon be unhappy
with her. Maybe she’d leave,
this one I’d really love,
but turns out
she was unhappy,
that would really hurt.
And I’d be unhappy.
Sucked a lot
sometimes.
