My Fear Of Love

As I’ve been terribly unlucky in love

I’ve given up and closed off my heart,

I give it a try once every decade or so

But nothing ever lasts and we part.

***

It is this very sad track record of mine

That has caused me to fear even trying,

Although I haven’t discovered as yet

Is it my fault or due to my partners lying?

***

I hear the ‘I love you’ loud and clear

Usually early in the relationship,

Too early when I think about it

Then months later they’ve skipped.

***

I obviously have terrible taste in men

Choosing those that are terribly needy,

They want 100% of my attention

And get jealous equally as easy.

***

I’ve built a wall of fear around my heart

And given up on love, preferring solitude,

I’m over all the grief and mourning

I’m happier alone without their attitude.
