After my divorce, I dated one girl & it was short-lived. Now four years alone is enough. |
Love's rush came like a summer storm I couldn't have stopped it if I tried Friends were forgotten in the tempest of new love Like being carried away by the tide Promises made...never to be broken Won over by a lover's charms Blinded by lust that knew no bounds Forever in each other's arms Falling in love with her was easy Letting go with no fear of what might be Diving in headfirst with reckless abandon Only in hindsight, did I see My love was given without hesitation A fool and his heart are soon torn apart Such darkness would come out of her light If only I had known from the start A case of want, versus need And what we had to offer each other What choosing a future partner demands In the search for the perfect lover But perfection is so rare And true love, even less so But, there was no stopping my heart Quick in hope, instead of taking it slow But for those those so inclined They live for the chase, not the prize Heart breakers, soul stealer’s and players alike Looking me in the eye as she told all her lies I should have known But, does a moth before flying into the flame Easy pickings for someone as beautiful And too easy for me to point the finger of blame All I want now is for this pain to end And my wish I that I'd never met her Focus on what we had in the early days And the good times we had together Love and broken hearts go hand in hand Enough to drive a person insane Live my life alone? Or pick myself up, dust off and try again? |
