10 Reasons why I hate dating

10 Reasons Why I Hate Dating




In the modern masquerade of love and romance,

Where hearts and swipes dance in a digital silence,

I find myself adrift in a sea of strange glances,

Where dating is a dance with no clear sense of balance.


1. The high of connection, so fleeting and thin,

Crashes down with the spotlight on a single sin.

A flaw, so minuscule, yet it shatters the mirage,

Leaving me in doubt, in the shadow of the barrage.


2. Pockets weigh heavier than the weight of our chat,

Dinners and movies, oh the costly rat-a-tat.

The price of companionship, a tax so unkind,

When all I seek is a soul to unwind.


3. Jealous whispers echo through the night air,

While I stand, a statue, not allowed a care.

For in this game of hearts, it seems so one-sided,

My own feelings, unwelcome, and often derided.


4. The quest for a partner, a quest so untrue,

When all I wish is for a bond that's not new,

To simply be me, without the façade's reign,

But instead, I'm nudged to play the part of the flaneur.


5. The assumption of intimacy, so bold and so rash,

As if my body is part of the flash sale cash.

I am not a prize to be won in a whirl,

Nor a trophy for the bed post to twirl.


6. Over reactions to words so innocently cast,

Silence falls like a storm when the thunder's not past.

Silly squabbles that leave me so drained,

When all I wanted was for our hearts to remain.


7. The art of persistence, a trait so endearing,

Turns into desperation, so overbearing.

When no means no, yet they plead for a maybe,

I feel like a leaf in the storm's sway.


8. The race to the future, so fast and so blurred,

While I'm still here, in the moment, unstirred.

Their eyes on the prize, the ring on the hand,

But I crave the journey, not the wedding band's stand.


9. The married men with a ring so well-concealed,

Their hearts like a book with a story that's sealed.

Expected to play the part of the unsung,

In a tale of love that's already been sung.


10. The echo chamber of their own sweet sound,

Where my voice is a whisper, barely profound.

I long for a dialogue, a shared melody,

But instead, it's a solo in a duet's decree.


In the tapestry of love, I'm but a thread,

Tangled and frayed by the words that have been said.

Ten reasons why I hate dating now, oh so clear.

Whispers of the willow's plight

 Whispers of the willow's plight Where whispers of the willow's plight Meet the soft caress of a gentle breeze, Lives a tale of love's most curious keys. A girl, whose eyes reflect the stars, Finds joy not in the mirth or the bars, But in a dance of passion's might, Where the line of pleasure meets the fight. The pain, a mere instrument, a tool, For her soul to break the cruelest rule, Not the pain itself that makes her swoon, But the power she takes back so soon. With every lash, a silent cry, His control, she lets him tie, But what truly makes her pulse race, Is the trust she's found in his embrace. He wields the whip, so strong and firm, Yet in her heart, it's her soul's turn, To conquer fears, to make them flee, In his power, she finds her liberty. Her body, a canvas of his art, Where love and pain together start, A symphony of desire's tune, Her life's goal is to be immune. To the pain that once had her cowed, Now it's a language she's a...

No second chance poem.

 No second chance poem.  He'd whisper sweet nothings, a silver tongue, Yet underneath, a heart so wrong, He'd lie and cheat, and never belong, To the world of the decent and the young. One strikes you are out, my dear, Your key to my heart, no longer here, In the game of love, you did steer Wayward paths of deceit and fear. One strikes you are out, no second cheer, Our chapter ends, let the curtains clear. With eyes so blue, a gaze so kind, He promised love, a heart to mend, But the devil's in the details, you'll find, When the darkness does ascend. He danced in the moonlit night, A masquerade of pure delight, Yet his soul was cloaked in spite, And the truth was a treasure, not meant. I gave him trust, a precious stone, But he cast it aside, thrown, For the thrill of deceit alone, Leaving my heart to atone. He knew not of the pain he'd bring, As he sang his siren's song, In the dance hall of the scorned and the wrung, Where the innocent do belong. But I am not o...
