You can't know this secret, about women and words, well enough,
you'll never win a woman's heart with words alone
and so romantic poetry is a work of desperation from tormented men.
But, it is this desperation where the true style of romance is found:
It's an attempt, a gesture, that brings levity (and peace) at someones expense
and maybe it's theirs and maybe it's yours but it's always for her.
(Doubt and) torment won't be something you can win over either,
only something you can avoid
(if you're a coward that is.)
