the story of love

got a story i’m gonna
tell about a guy with
thoughts of love, he
could’ve sworn that
he swore it off, but
the feeling’s been
bubbling up, stuck
on his mind, sitting
duck, but now he’s
here blocking the
box because he’s
got so many on his
mind, feelings that
aren’t reserved for
one, he’s struggling
between quite a few.

there’s the one he’s
having trouble letting
go of, no matter how
hard he tries, placed
so much of his worth
into that one, while he
doesn’t anymore, the
regret for how things
turned out sticks in
his mind, wishes he
could make it right,
even though she’d
like to never speak
with him ever again.

then there’s one who
has the beauty of a
model, with a smile
so perfect it could
light up the world,
they support each
other subtly but he
feels like he’d never
stand a chance, one
so lovely deserves a
lover with confidence,
a quality he’s feeling
he doesn’t possess.

and there’s one whose
personality he just can’t
get enough of, so many
laughs they’ve shared
in so short a time, but
he’s afraid to judge so
soon, especially after
heartbreak loomed so
often before, thoughts
of falling in love scare
him so, he chooses to
remain in seclusion as
the pain could be too
much for him to take.

they always say to
follow your heart,
but how can he go
with it when there’s
the fork in the road?
what’s the approach?
can’t decide if he will
take a leap of faith or
run away, stay in the
solo lane, escape the
hurting that fuels the
anxiety he faces and
hope it doesn’t make
him heartless, turning
away from those that
he cares the most for.
but it’s always eating
at him, he just isn’t cut
out enough to be loved.

and it sucks.
