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 :)

a complicated man Aaron, he struggles with love and finding that right one may be beyond him, great poem which i think would be a good song lyric, well done :)

[AaronFreitas]

Yes sir... life gets confusing at times, emotions change and it's trying to come to terms with unfamiliarity. I appreciate your review my friend :)

[Madison]

I love this!! This is what I'm wondering EVERY SINGLE TIME when I am with my boyfriend. Love, just like life, is unfair, and mysterious.

[AaronFreitas]

It is definitely mysterious... hard to understand what you can't control and that is whoever is attached to that emotion for the time being. I get along with everyone, easy to talk to but since my divorce I just don't want to be around the person anymore lol hard to explain. Thanks my friend :)

A closed heart is an empty place... the shutters are drawn so no one can even peep inside... I understand this very well... it is very difficult piece together a shattered heart when all you have are old memories and tears to work with... great penning, my friend

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you FT I appreciate your words :) It is difficult and even more so trying to figure out how to fix it. I guess time will help and probably the right person

Love the poem
Maybe those women are selfish
and maybe that's why he has closed up

Maybe the one who will stay
Will be the one lady that refuses to cuddle or go for the physical one night stand
The one who will sit by his side
For the sake of doing so
Wanting nothing

Supporting him, loving him not knowing what will happen
Because she can and she will

only then his soul will heal

Love it Aaron

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A sad tale Aaron but one which I guess happens quite frequently as many have been burnt and find it hard to get back in the saddle, so to speak. Told in a sensitive voice with some regret intoned.

[AaronFreitas]

Yes indeed my friend... this is one aspect of life that is still confusing... the I want this but I push it away at the same time. Blame my ex wife for this one lol... appreciate your review buddy :)
