COMPLICATED

It used to be for each boy I'd see,

It was only a matter of time...

Before they'd go astray & I'd have my way,

Each one that I wanted was mine,

But as I've grown older,

Perhaps I've grown bolder,

Or maybe I'm slightly insane...

For the people who haunt me,

Flirt with & taunt me

Are no longer simply a game.

 

First there was lovely Jessica,

Only married and also bi,

And as awesome as a couple they were

they never did sleep with guys,

And my lust was complicated not

for wanting sex with her...

But for wanting the impossibility of them,

for that is what they were.

 

Then Bryan dreamed about me

and confessed to me his passions,

And when the others questioned

he did not deny his actions,

In fact he set the story straight,

Ironic as it seems...

This man so fine,

This dream of mine

is straight when not in dreams.

 

This boy & girl exceptional

were hellish yet divine,

But at least two stars are not a pattern,

They only are a line...

But now a pattern forms

for there is now a third to halve,

Between friendship & lust

and thoughts I can't trust,

For another hot guy I can't have.

 

The new guy, Erich, is fascinating;

with eyes that hypnotize me,

He's funny & charming

& very disarming,

I would gladly let him inside me...

But of course he's not free,

and he isn't for me,

For he's married yet that shouldn't hurt me...

For he's good & his smiles

Can warm me for miles,

And I doubt that he'd ever desert me.

 

And that's the thing about these Three;

They're so brilliantly understated,

They all leave me glowing...

They're all worth the knowing...

Though it makes my life more complicated.

 

But a complication can bring us closer

if we've the strength to only unearth it,

Although it's still sucking

that we are not fucking

These friendships simply are worth it.
