My Complex Valentine
my valentine's day is complicated
because the person that I love doesn't know it
due to limitations and societies norms
I can't really show it
Value systems imposed upon me
so I hide the way I really feel
and I deal with
emotional fall out and mood swings
you know the kind that discontentment brings.
so I sing, I paint, I think and I write
so that darkness dosn't extinquish my light
so I don't feel anymore than I have to
my love was written on a check and stamped void
and re-submitted but funds were insufficient and insignificant
wait, book mark that and come back to the fact that
unlike you I've never been loved
never been the object of affection of another
or held in high esteem
to me thats like a dream
or even thought of with feelings of caring
or love unless its possible that
the one that loves me has a complex valentine
and the inability to show it
maybe he loves me and can't really show it
due to limitations and societies norms
imposed upon him and he knows it
so he hides the way he really feels
and deals with the emotional fall out
and mood swings
you know, the kind that discontentment brings.
Loves a complex thing.
