Everything Has Failed

I don’t remember how many women
I’ve fallen in love with! !
How many shoulders I’ve tried to kiss,
How many lips I’ve wanted to make promises to,
How many ponytails I’ve desired
To hold between my lips
Like a holy sacrament! !

I never wanted to be shallow,
I never wanted to hurt a woman,
I never wanted to be a divorced male,
I don’t know why there is
A heaven and a hell! ! !

God should have allowed me
A true commitment! !
I’ll rot in my grave
With no understanding
Why everything has failed! ! !
