Love Changes You

I was a loner I didn't trust the female, My heart has just one owner Its needs would no longer prevail. Another woman I wouldn't care for After the pain that was inflicted upon me, I will not go through that hell no more I was once blinded, but now I see. If in a battle I must fight I will need no woman at my side, I am my own strength and my own might Pain and heartache is the truest guide. I don't need a woman to worry about I need no woman to hold, Whenever I am confused and in doubt I will always remember, the sadness and the cold. I want no woman to protect Nor do I want any woman to defend, I hate being seen or thought of as an object I want no wife, or girlfriend. No one else's luggage do I want to carry My load is heavy enough, Never again to God I swear, will I marry To a woman's charm I will always rebuff. Unto love I swear that I am opposed For a woman never again will I worry about or care, My heart will forever stay closed If I ever need guidance, I will do it on a dare. I need no woman to inspire Whenever I sit down to think or create, With matches I can start my own fire I most definitely do not need a mate. But, then that one day I saw her Who she was, then I never knew, My life then dramatically changed with a stir; Love, changes you. Randy L. McClave
