Mr. Cannot

Where oh where 

could my prince be?

Lost in a tree?

Lost at sea?

Lost and refusing to ask directions?

Would not surprise me.

Everyone tells me to be patient

to wait

bide my time

until the right one comes

sweeping me off my feet

making me believe in romance

true love

and all the rest of that garbage.

True love

manure if you ask me

no man is going to sweep me away

take away my problems

make me feel sweet and light

a princess in disguise.

Knights is shining armour

do not exist

or rather I have not met one yet.

However I have met:

Mr. Cannot Commit.

Mr. Cannot Love.

Mr. Cannot be faithful.

Mr. Cannot tell the truth.

Mr. Cannot control self.

Mr. Cannot…..

Where is Mr. Can?

No where to be found.

Were I to put out a bounty

do you think that he would appear?

Or once more

surrounded by frogs

willing to kiss no more.
