Complexed

Hmm...

04/07/14

I understand thoroughly not being into games,

Yet you're putting on a 5:45am smile

As if I'll not know that once again you couldn't sleep.

I struggle with how to smile back.

The rain sucks, don't I know.

Allbeit I may not so much be out in it,

But I feel it. Your choices; perhaps

My choices.

You've put me in a spot of reflection,

So am I not supposed to reflect?

I understand, but I also see.

I see how you're still married,

And have heard you as to how others were

No help in getting you out of that.

I know and have said undoubtedly how I would help

Despite the fact I nor they helped get you married

Anymore than you helped in giving them

Babies.

I can see wanting to be made a priority.

I hear how you say you're glad I like Tool.

Why?

I think about how I guess you still have my

Poe cd, and how since I don't have my own place,

I suppose you may never give a listen to Mojque.

I wonder how many links I've sent you

That you've not and may never view.

I see the chocolates I bought you

Thrown on top of my things

Like my picture

You say is in a drawer

For lack of magnets,

When I am not stupid

And know for

Whatever reason,

It's because you don't want to see.

Or you don't want someone else to see.

I see you here in my room,

Having brought me epsom salts and

Tylenol,

Saying how badly you wanted to kiss me.

And now,

In separating head from heart,

I second guess everything.

For I've no desire to offend you

With color

Or to be too complexed.

Yet I know if I weren't at least

Somewhat complexed,

You'd find me as boring as you do

Country music.

And now / In separating head from heart / I second guess everything...that bit alone should be a mission statement for romance. The delivery is direct and straightforward here but the message and the emotions it entails is anything but...but that's how romance works, and probably the way it should work. I've always had this belief that for love to work, the weaknesses should be better understood than the strengths. You've offered a very thorough and personal look at this predicament. I think this would work splendidly as a spoken word piece. You've presented this couple with such depth, and imbued both with their own detailed set of idiosyncrasies, to the extent that I feel like I know these two, yet I can't interfere for this is something that must be worked out between this pair. You just seem to have a grasp for human nature my friend, and the situations you present in your writing are believable...they're not soap operas. Wonderful and thoughtful work as always Mel :)

A peek into a a relationship where one person definitely makes more of an effort than the other...oh my a married man and poetry go hand in hand, don't they? Enjoyed the view Mel.
