Love Poem: Crossing Messages

Crossing Messages

Why must it always be this way
sending and receiving mixed messages
it’s simple yet so complicated

We can spend endless time
avoiding the object of obsession
then wonder why the world
seems to be turning upside down

Nothing’s clear other than
realizing it’s complicated
and there’s no attempt to 
unravel its ball of knots

As long as the sun comes up
with every morning 
there’s still hope

We can still hang on to hope
