My Misfortunes

Five years have passed
Along with six lovers
And when I look back
I noticed
That all of them seem to be
Very much alike

I guess that I am attracted
To that type of woman
You know
The kind that makes you 
Pull away
Never letting you get too close

While all the time
She creates this distance
I feel as though
I must make her love me more
Break down the walls
Let her see how good I am
And how much she means to me

And although 
I unconsciously do it
This is the type of love
I have repeatedly sought
The type I always create

Knowing that in the end
She will surely go
And I will be left 
With a new poem to write
About my misfortunes
