Spinsterizm

Spinsterizm.

Illusion and heart-ache,

pressure and pain.

Down through the years,

a constant strain!

The same old mistakes,

committed and past.

The time rushes on,

The spell holds fast.

Some are lucky.

Some just learn.

I go trying and wait my turn.

As time runs out,

and the future unfolds,

my dream, once bright – no longer holds.

Alas, time waits for no one,

And no one waits for me.

I’ll get used to having fun,

With only my t.v!
