The Reason

A man’s love rivals no other.
In paradox its existence lies

His love looms like a shadow
Unobserved in an excess of dark words

Each expression contrary to the feelings of his heart

He fears refusal of his love more than anything

His heart aches in desperate confusion

He loves, but can not express

His mind tries to cope by masking his feelings

The truth can’t be revealed to her

His soul yearns to give roses, sonnets and ballads to his muse

Instead he hurls taunts, mocks and jeers

His mind and heart in constant struggle

She can never know his love.

He hides, but a little part of his soul dies each time he harms his dear

What a strange thing love can be
