POEM: LOOKING FOR LOVE

Looking for love in all the wrong places
This woman opens her heart to every man
that tells her he loves her
Never takes the chance to get to know the true her
Only believes it from the mouth of others
They know she is weak
As she even stands with her head high
so they creep in and out of her life
Like thieves in the night

Looking for love in all the wrong places
This woman never had someone to truly call her own
She despises the looks of admiration from the couple she walks by
Wanting that same adoration to walk into her life
As she cries in the night behind closed doors
Trying to cover her pain with every mundane routine in her life
She throws out "I love yous", carelessly
Waiting to hear a reply

Looking for love in all the wrong places
This woman is scorned and miserable
Needing to learn that if she truly loved herself first
Her knight and shining armor would ride in
But never being in love and never knowing how to really love
she yet again runs into the arms of another man
Believing that if he would only reply back
The words she whispered to him
She'll be able to move on

but no she continues
dreaming,
searching,
seeking,
looking...
for love
in all the wrong places
