He doesn’t know where he stands.
Allonormativity & standard definitions of love,
He'd never been able to escape them all.
All these years of running away from them,
He wished he'd just crash somewhere and fall.
But then, they crossed paths,
And something within him shifted.
Her world was pretty much the same,
But his was left tilted.
The end came before the beginning,
For he knew he couldn't love people in their way,
So he decided to let her go,
Even though there was so much left to say...
But was their love a video game?
Overcoming obstacles, unlocking new lands?
She was levels above him on the scoreboard
And he still doesn't know where he stands.
He had never been fonder of anyone
But he couldn't tell her this over text.
What was the point of his feelings?
If there was nothing coming next.
She refused to see him as he was,
And suddenly, all his feelings were divided.
If she had actually ever liked him,
Their depth wouldn't have been one-sided.
He’ll write her a stupid poem,
Until his words are no longer suppressed.
But that poem will never reach her,
And maybe that's for the best.
