Love Poem by David Andre' Klopper

My love for you is a mystery,
Just when I thought life with you,
Was history,
With your last betrayal,
I thought it must be the final nail,
Somehow you pull me back,
My armour opens, just a crack,

Trying not to love you,
Looking for something true,
Trying to be strong,
Holding on too long,

How will you break my heart now?
How much pain will the world allow?
Is it me you want to know?
Why won't you let me grow?
Would you kill life's blessing?
Will you hesitate even for a second?
Love's search is such a hard lesson,

Did you have to twist the knife?
Will you always try to ruin my life?
Will you be happy when I am gone?
Or feel bad because you waited too long?
Why do I feel sad when you treat me so bad?
I am the only one who really cares for you,
Looking for the day when you will be true,

Trying not to love you,
Looking for something true,
Trying to be strong,
Holding on too long,

So take care now, you hear,
I want to make myself clear,
Love's sun shines through that crack,
There is not much time to get me back,
The mysterious power of love is strong,
But this is a world where I do not belong.
