CONUNDRUM

You are a mystery that cannot be solved.
Hard to know, easy to love,
Many people in one.

You are a puzzle whose pieces don’t fit.
Missing in action, promises redacted,
A role well-acted?

You press me a shirt, then miss our date.
My pride is hurt, your apology’s too late.
You lure me near then disappear.

Beautiful boy, broken.
Manipulative man, sadistic.
What happened to you?
Why do I even care?
You are a mystery that cannot be solved.
