She's broken four dates we've made
two while I was getting dressed
she occasionally shows renewed interest

only to give another excuse
I've heard a myriad of reasons
a multitude of mysteries

"I didn't know if I could trust you,
you came on so strong"

"My guy friend wants to date me,
but he has no job to support himself"

"I need to get a job and health together
before I can date anyone"

"I have class right now
and don't get out until 8"

"I'm sick"

She doesn't answer the phone
nor return my calls

hiding behind texts
and wall posts

avoiding the sound of my voice

When a man is fed silence
it only seems like rejection
it only makes him try harder
at least this man

raised by planet of women
easy prey to manipulation

left without a clue
reaching for

the distant flower

Well, chalk one up for persistance anyway.  I like the poem.
