Astounding that a man like me,
Calm, cool, collected, in control,
Has found myself easily beaten down,
Being overwhelmed by a mere girl.

I am used to swimming life agilely,
Not being sucked under by sensual riptides,
Feelings flowing over my head,
Drowning me in an ocean of emotions.

I am dazed, dumbfounded, defeated,
I know well that love always causes pain.
But that sorceress has me swamped,
The more I struggle, the deeper I sink.

I am overpowered, no longer free,
I am completely overcome.
Prepare! Oh heart for the pain that will come
From being overwhelmed by a mere girl.

Bruised, bloodied, battered and beaten
