Why is love so complicated?

Its always the plain ones that wish

for Efron or Denzel

counting couples in the park

Until Dark, this is what it has come to

Why is love so complicated?

Love even has names

Unrequited – Forbidden – platonic

Then there’s me no boyfriend or even a kiss

Why is love so complicated?

Thinking about the person when you’re just an option to them

Tall, dark and handsome – Pale, short and plain

Pay attention to me

They say good things come to those who wait

I have waited enough; love.

Why is love so complicated?

And shallow – see past the size 16

And Natural hair

I have a good heart

No, its about image

Why is love so complicated?

Going to bed whilst your pillow

Soaks in all the resentment of the one that doesn't care

They’re oblivious to the fact someone is writing this poem for them.
