Puzzled by People

Love is the answer. I'm pretty good at puzzles but puzzled by people And I don't trouble trouble and trouble don't trouble me. Stare at the paper, fold it in two Facing the walls are the soles of my shoes. Sometimes you have to find out for yourself. Sometimes you need to be told. Sometimes you never find the answer. We never had a crossword (crossed word) My words got lost and you never heard I'm 2 (too) down you're one across the room Beginning with I and ending in U Beginning in my eye and ending as an X Leaves a bad taste in my mouth To think of you again like the bad taste leaking from the ink in my pen Doodle at the side as I do to life Choosing to lose time instead of doing what I like Starts off black and white and lacking in life Until pen in blue lends it a hue. Puzzled by people Loving isn't easy You can't google the solutions to people's feelings Sometimes you have to find out for yourself. Sometimes you need to be told. Sometimes you never find the answer. Chewing on the pen 2 down again Not enough letters for the clue in my head Lost in thought, never been there before With the turn of a pun on the tip of my tongue The freshest memory will fail to recall As well as the messiest, faded scrawl Love is the answer. Puzzled by people Loving isn't easy You can't google the solutions to people's feelings Sometimes you have to find out for yourself. Sometimes you need to be told. Sometimes you never find the answer. --- Puzzled by People - The Streets
