Complicated

Isn’t it interesting,

Or rather a complicated thing,

When we want something and get it,

But when we do get it,

We don’t want it,

Because we can cherish it no longer.

 

We love it and yearn for it,

Almost every day from a distance,

Then we hold it ,

And at that point,

It’s an everlasting memory.

Waiting to be demolished,

By our thoughts of tomorrow.

 

Complicated is it not,

When the heart wants to love,

But the mind disagrees,

And your body wants to give in,

But your soul won’t agree,

And your left to wonder in your subconscious.

 

Then you give in or you don’t,

You begin to ponder on the could’ve been,

Or I should’ve done it this way or the next,

And your mind becomes weak,

While your heart has already been,

From jump street fatally wounded.
