THE WOMAN

You like him a whole lot,

He is everything and more,

He is beautiful in his own way,

He is a proper gentleman,

BUT…..

You don’t know how he feels,

You can’t even decode his actions,

One moment he seems interested,

The next he is out cold,

You don’t want to seem desperate,

You don’t want to assume things

You’ve been hurt so many times,

You promised never to love again,

You say to yourself

“Woman, love is just going to hurt you again”

But each time you meet someone new,

You fall for them then you fall out,

It has become a circle for you,

Love now feels like a deadly disease to you

More like a cancer

And staying away from feelings is the chemotherapy,

You’re are beautiful in your own way,

Both within and without,

You’ve been hurt,

He has been hurt too,

Maybe even in worse ways than you can imagine,

Or maybe he is the kind that hurts people,

Either ways, you are afraid to take another leap,

Because the last one you took,

Was worse than the one you took,

And the one before that,

So goes the circle.

Here is what I have for you

Be strong,

Do what makes you happy,
love yourself,
spoil yourself

Life is too short .
