I've Sipped Those Cups Of Tea

I have needs.
And I don't believe,
Making announcements about them...
Would have them quicker met,
If I advertised on the internet.
Or posted my picture...
Since I don't think I'm photogenic.
I like to meet some one sincere.
Someone who would share with me...
Feelings felt that were authentic.

I have needs.
To be respected with a love,
That was loyal and devoted.
Relationships increasing in arguments...
Are for those out seeking challenges.
And those I've had before.
Only to witness a love exit through slammed doors.
And nothing about that do I desire to repeat.
I want someone honest and sharing peace with me.
Heartache and roleplay?
I've sipped those cups of tea!
