It seems so much clearer now
now that I’ve seen her eyes…like mine
chasing the unobtainable lover’s dream
just as I’m chasing mine.
Its ironic how we each love someone else
who loves us less in turn
but yearns for the lover of another yet
who loves them also less in turn.
Jim would possess Kathy
and she would have me
And I would have Kathleen
and she, I’ve seen, longs for Ted.
These lover’s conjunctions – always and ever mismatched
we seek the things we can never have
from other who do the same
in an endless lover’s chain.
