My Complex Valentine

my valentine's day is complicated because the person that I love doesn't know it due to limitations and societies norms I can't really show it Value systems imposed upon me so I hide the way I really feel and I deal with emotional fall out and mood swings you know the kind that discontentment brings. so I sing, I paint, I think and I write so that darkness dosn't extinquish my light so I don't feel anymore than I have to my love was written on a check and stamped void and re-submitted but funds were insufficient and insignificant wait, book mark that and come back to the fact that unlike you I've never been loved never been the object of affection of another or held in high esteem to me thats like a dream or even thought of with feelings of caring or love unless its possible that the one that loves me has a complex valentine and the inability to show it maybe he loves me and can't really show it due to limitations and societies norms imposed upon him and he knows it so he hides the way he really feels and deals with the emotional fall out and mood swings you know, the kind that discontentment brings. Loves a complex thing.

I feel sad that in the end of this....the feelings are suppressed and hidden. If this is a personal write...I hope you are brought together with the person you love despite what "society" thinks--screw them!! Much love, Steve
