Why do we get involved
In sentimental riddles
Only to leave tattered hearts
Unresolved?

Throw out life lines
Habitually
Knowing that your intentions
Were never to reel in
A person's love consistently?

Ask questions of others that
You'd never answer yourself
For the sheer purpose of
Sucking them emotionally dry
Until there was nothing left?

Box up your reasons for
Every cause and effect
To suggest that you
Got it all together
And
She's the one that's imperfect?

[[Rhetorically asking]]

I wonder if these questions
Are even worth answering
Since
I'd fall in love quickly with
The man that could actually
Answer them wholeheartedly..

There's always a small part of me
With an open ear and a clear mind..
Take your time..
As a good friend once said,
Tic..
Tock..
