toxic love

he saw her in the distance
she approached and felt nervous
he built up the confidence with a little liquid courage
without even thinking of the consequences, he approached her anyways
love at first sight.. or infatuation? one or the other it didn't matter
he was wiling to take the risk
next thing you know it's "anything you want baby girl, anything you need"
the decision was made and the love already tainted
after all they hit it off on the first night
they also hit it on the first night
but there was no "quit it"
it was, "let's move on"
months pass, things get sweeter
a month passes and then suddenly bitter
what happened?
from affection to protection of feelings
he was closed off from the whole world
like the flick of a switch
oh right, love involves risk. maybe too much sometimes?
if only he were objective and not rushed
now he feels the pain and has a sour taste left in his mouth
is love always this tough or disappointing, or both?
everyone else seems to may it work
but him...
what is he doing wrong?
he wants to follow the right path but, he can't see it. does it exist?
he walks down what looks like a path anyways in hope that eventually the sun will come up..
that's it! the sun WILL come up...
