Tragic Romance

Written June 5, 2006

The confusion of falling in love
is just a drop in the bucket
compared to the confusion
of being in love
you feel sad
when you should feel happy
you feel happy
when you should feel concern
you feel concern
whenever you think of one another
the wiring of the emotions
becomes a tangled mess
of Christmas lights
sometimes on
sometimes off
sometimes blinking in unison
sometimes blinking at random
nothing matters but each other
everything matters to each other
there is no end
to the contradictions
so where does the confusion end
and the romance begin?
