Paradoxical Attraction

The hardest part of loving someone is knowing when to let go, and knowing when to say goodbye.

Love is poorly painted in confusion

Everlasting regret steps into another illusion

His kiss was a spiritual mystery

Thoughts reluctantly ran with history

 

His heart is no longer a present

Pain thunders in with torment

His sweet laughter lingers in my ear

The future quickly melts in fear

 

He smiles at the attractive girls

Isolating me from his world

Emotions chemically wait for a sudden reaction

Gravity has pulled me in a paradoxical attraction

 

Author's Note

Thanks for the positive reviews, I extremely appreciate it :D
And for the negative reviewers, always remember this: "Critics are like eunuchs in a harem: they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves." - Brendan Francis Behan
I'll continue to write even when you bring me down!!

This is fantastic and a very relatable poem! Your color patterns within carefully crafted word choice really make the piece extra special. Wonderful work!

I really like the second stanza in particular. It has a haunting feel to it. Also a great way to end this poem: "Gravity has pulled me in a paradoxical attraction". Keep writing even when people put you down! It's hard to do, but very worth it.

You've shown some interesting emotions in this write... The best part was the way you written it... Some things many guys need to understand... Great job...
