Love is a mystery

You can see it in his eyes he is ready for love,

Feeling like tonight could be the lucky night.

First date in a while and she is looking fine!

But what will he feel at the end of the night?

 

They share many smiles and bursts of laughs…

For a second no painful memories exist.

But as the night slowly withers away,

He starts to pull away and resist.

 

She wants to lay and cuddle on the couch,

So he spends the night willingly pretending…

That this current woman makes him happy,

But it’s only getting closer to ending.

 

Hot and steamy she screams his name,

She’s thinking she’s found Mr. Right.

While thoughts flood his erratic mind…

How he can get rid of her after tonight?

 

He lacks a connection with every date…

Something that is almost unexplainable.

Add this date to the growing list of women

That can’t build any emotion that’s sustainable.

 

They come and they go but they never know

That his heart is closed because his eyes don’t show

He is broken inside though his words do not lie

Love is as mysterious as angels in the sky.

Sad story of love and very well done. This looks to be maybe one of your new open pieces of work??? Anyway I like it. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like stuck in your own head and trying to find someone that wants to see if their key works to get inside.

[AaronFreitas]

Yes of course Willard :) That was my night haha.... it's a new feeling of shutting people out. I would say my heart has always been open letting everyone in and now it's changed and only the right person will find the way which is probably a good thing. Appreciate your review :)

Not everyone can show the true essence of love, but you have done a wonderful job in depicting how everyone is fighting their own battle. I hope you find 'true love' soon! :)

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you very much :) I sure hope I do too I'm just not sure if my heart is ready... we will see :)

[Bluefire]

Thank you very much :) I tried my best

[Nadia Gerassimenko]

Oh, that is a very sad and painful poem. For both parties. The women who want to get into the heart of the man, having to prove that they're worthy of being with him. And for the man who cannot seem to open his heart to anyone and consequently, has to break so many people's hearts.

[AaronFreitas]

Thanks Nadia :) It's definitely a struggle to open this heart of mine... how you been by the way feels like forever since I've talked to you and I've hardly been on lately hoping to get back on more

[Nadia Gerassimenko]

Great way of portraying this individual! Shows the heartbreak he himself is suffering so that he is unable to show or give real love! Great as always!

[Some Kind of Poet]

Love is, indeed, buddy... a mystery. One of the many few mysteries that we will never fully understand but it's like a pill that counters the addiction of all other things going on in the universe. Your words are amazing and I always enjoy reading your writing. You're very relatable. Thanks for sharing!

[AaronFreitas]

Thanks buddy... sometimes we search and it just avoids us until we find the right one... hopefully we all find that eventually! Thanks for the review :)

[Lily Mae]

I had a client the other day that was going through the exact same thing. He compared everyone to his mother.. I said NO!!!! Say that and you will lose everyone,. But in all seriousness you are further along than most. You know that there is a place inside that is broken,.,and now it's up to you if you want to fix it.. your perfect as is..xo

[AaronFreitas]

Haha classic...I don't want anyone like my mother but just someone that makes me happy and is looking for the same things... not a one foot in one foot out person. :) Thanks for your review Lily :)

[Lily Mae]

I wish you luck and good things:) and your welcome..xo

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you very much I appreciate that :)
