His heart was a riddle
hidden behind playful eyes
pain below the surface
so leary – no surprise

She broke his heart so easy
tossed aside and second best
his eyes and dreams still follow her
they never seem to rest

At night the longing lingers
Each deepened breath proclaims
She is the only true love
His heart will ever claim

Though others try to solve him
bring him to the couples fold
his heart remains a mystery
His longing left untold
