Love Me Not

I've decided to give up on love until it comes calling for me,
Because pining for its lost version can take over uncontrollably,
The past owes us nothing its lifelessly ethereal,
I want to wallow in the happiness of sentient quantum material,

I need the warmth of a present conversation with a live woman,
My chats with ghosts are maddening, mummified and wooden,
Now I search for someone who will love me for who I am,
A fifty-two year old poor bachelor that's living with fam,

No sham, if this sounds appealing to you then I'm available,
I've got a great Dad bod but hairline is not sustainable,
So hurry before my head is as bald as my bank book,
I look like a hunk from a far if you neglect a second look.
