My Mystery

It enwraps my mind Awesome is its power The sweetest thing you can find But can quickly turn sour You can’t live without it But it’s so hard to control Sometimes if you’re not careful In your heart, it’ll leave a hole It can take your breath away Sweep you off your feet Though it can be the greatest thing It often has you beat An emotion, a feeling For many, so much desired But searching for what seems a lifetime Can leave you lying tired It can come at you discreetly Or in your face, it can be shoved But you never know what to do with it-- This mystery that we call love
