Without A Woman

I would rather be all alone Like the moon in a starless night, Than to ever be with an evil woman Full of hatefulness and spite. I would rather be a falling star That God has expelled from the sky, Than to ever be with a lying woman again Just for 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 a cheating woman Life is too short, but not absurd. I would rather be in the middle of the ocean Alone and abandoned on a raft Than to be used and tricked by a woman And then lied to and given the shaft. I would rather live alone as a recluse Than to live my life in doubt Wondering daily if she's trustworthy and good And if she is caring and devout. So, here I sit as I worry and I ponder I guess the next step will be all mine Do I want to be alone happy and free Or do I take her out to dine. Randy L. McClave
