Stuck in Love Rope-a-Dope

-
I fall then I get left behind
Love looks better in my mind
I listen to my heart
But then my dreams get torn apart
I give so much & hardly ask for 
anything at all
Why do I let myself fall?
When I know how the story ends
There is no need to pretend
it will turn out different this time
it seems men feel loving me is a crime
When you open your heart it is hard to tell
if it will be an endless well
of heartache & pain
Your stability to maintain
Why should we fall with reckless abandon?
Success with love is so random
No one can tell if you find the one
or if it all goes to hell
When I take a risk I am all in there is no inbetween
My vulnerabilty is seldom seen
I can't let my guard down for just anyone
but without any trust I am done.
I take all the hits in stride
trying to overlook my pride
But I can only take so much
When love just feels out of touch
in the present time it worries my mind
I need a deep connection, trust &
protection
I am as true as my reflection
Nothing I try to hide, what's
inside is on the outside
I always try to look on the upside
but lately it has been all downhill
my faith in love it does kill
I may not be the prettiest flower
but I'm one of the strongest with staying power
It is going to take a rare strong man
to take me as I am 
Maybe one day he will find me 
But I have doubts it will ever be.

Deep Within I Know It is Him

-
His eyes were warm & appealing which made my soul revealing From him I cannot hide my passion deep inside Even Though I knew he didn't find me as intriguing  From my feelings I could not be fleeing Deep inside my feelings engulfed me Out of respect I withheld what was  consuming me so he could not see My deep passion longing to explode & I knew soon it would overload It is so hard to keep it within but something so strong would overwhelm me before long No matter what I tried I could not shake this deep engulfing ache I knew it could never be but taking risks is a part of me I must try just to see even though it seems impossible to me His sense of humor I cannot resist  So I persist and even though it is wrong I must press on It's weird how one's life can be turned upside down When a certain special someone is around Everyone says don't even try you'll lose but when your heart must choose it is impossible to deny  or even question

Like No Other Man I Ever Knew

-
I was concerned for him every day Although I knew he'd never look my way I felt drawn to him in so many odd ways His eyes touched the deepest depth of my being I knew I was wishing for hopeless things & dreaming But this man was like no other I had ever known it was as if he could see the real me without being shown it at all I wanted to walk away but it was if his soul would call and I could not turn away at all no matter how hard I tried to go astray It was if our connection was yet unknown but kept us near With him I had no fear I could be myself and not be afraid to reach out My mind was always tossing me doubts but my heart knew better it never wavered for it was his essence I savored I longed to feel his touch but I knew I wanted too much I want fate to decide so I will be patient and wait What is meant to be will always find a way & I hope to meet this man someday. My passion is hard to conceal & explain but for me love must be real a wild h

Love's Eternal Light

-
When I feel my patience running thin I think again I think of how much I love you and how your heart has touched my soul so unique  and new  I try to be understanding and caring because I know the burdens you are bearing It is hard to say what I feel when I look at you It is true No words can comprehend my feelings  deep in my soul I have no control Many times I thought of giving up and I think no more could be given but My love for you keeps me driven Love does not take kindly to changes so abrupt Why tear down what has taken so long  to build up? Love needs time to grow anew  You can't just give up you have to follow through Once your heart has decided who is right for you To truly touch the heart of another you have to be patient even though your weary They may try others before they reach you but if your heart is insistent you have to be persistent.  So much love is lost by those who have given in to despair when they should have stayed aware Love hap
