Eighteen Men

Eighteen men have tried before,
to fill the void that you adore.
Eighteen men without a chance,
invited to a futile dance.

Eighteen men have tried before,
to make the journey to your core.
Eighteen men came filled with hope.
With none of them did you elope.

Eighteen men have tried before.
Eighteen men came knocking at your door.
Eighteen men were sent away.
None could rise above the fray.

Eighteen men have tried before.
Perhaps there will be eighteen more.
Eighteen men to one address.
Eighteen men found emptiness.
