And Then There Was One
In the realm of love's tangled web,
A woman stood, her heart in ebb.
Torn between two souls, she found,
A choice to make, her heart unbound.
One man, a flame that burned so bright,
With passion's fire, a dazzling light.
His words, like honey, used to disguise his lies
Enchanting her, captivating her mind.
She fell for his manipulation every single time.
The other, gentle, steady, true,
A love that whispered, softly grew.
His touch, a balm, a soothing grace,
A shelter in life's tumultuous chase.
But as she pondered, deep within,
She felt a doubt, a voice akin.
For neither man, she soon perceived,
Neither were a match, she began to believe.
The first, though charming, lacked in depth,
His love a mirage, a fleeting breath.
Beneath the surface, shadows loomed,
A hollow promise, a love illumed.
The second, steady, yet not safe,
A love that lacked a vibrant taste.
In comfort's arms, she felt confined,
A longing for more, she couldn't bind.
And so, she realized, with a heavy heart,
That neither man could play their part.
For love, she learned, should not be blind,
To flaws and faults, left undefined.
For just because one seemed better than the other,
Did not mean they were good for each other.
She walked away, her heart set free,
To find a love that matched her needs.
In the end, she sought a love anew,
A love that honored her, and grew.
A love that embraced her flaws and all,
A love that would never let her fall.
