Rather Be Alone

I would rather be all alone Like the moon in a starless night, Than to ever be with a woman Full of hatefulness and spite. I would rather be like a falling star That God has expelled from the sky, Than to ever be with a woman again Just for her wants and a reason to satisfy. I would rather be like the night Where I am not seen, but maybe heard, Than to be with an evil woman Life is too short, but not absurd. I would much rather walk all alone Down any road or even a forgotten path, Than walking it with a woman Who brings forth only wrath. I would rather walk by myself Than to brag a woman as my prize, And then being used and tricked by her And believing all of her lies. I would rather walk into heaven all alone With no woman at my side, As I try to explain to God Why a woman's lies and deceit I accepted and did hide. Randy L. McClave
