The hopeless romantic yearns to be loved
While lovers dance around to get burned
Lovers complain they can't find a romantic
The romantic listens and remains looked over
Allusions avoided, passed off as sarcastic
The romantic, again, misses the ascention to lover
Impeding impulses to reach out and kiss her
Forever fighting in silent attrition
Blockading shipments of hormones and fantasy
While judging her friends with scrutinous suspision
Paranoid of projecting as timid or antsy
Eyes closed, wondering why he can't see
