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
