Couples Only

"This one's for all the couples out there,
that should be everyone here!"
The DJ called.
Couples only,
singles out.

"No it's not everyone!"
cried my soul.
Couples only,
singles out.

Walking around the room
bright flashes
capture smiles
on the faces
couples only,
singles out.

Two hearts glowing,
One heart dimming.
Couples only,
Singles out.

Two hearts hopeful,
one heart quickly
loses all hope.
Couples only,
Singles out.

Here, have a date.
Reality? He's just
another single,
who could
have been
couples only,
singles out.

O, brother,
where art thou?
My ready made date.
At least then
I might
have had
someone.
Couples only,
Singles out.

Never assume,
the whole world
is coupled,
with someone else.
All it achieves,
is couples only,
singles out.
