WARNING, THIS AUTHOR'S NOTE MAY PULL YOU FROM THE FIC A BIT. YOU MAY WANT TO READ IT FIRST::/Yeah… was not originally written to be Kurt and Mercedes, I'm not a huge Fandom Poetry person… Was more of a RL situation, from my POV. Knew I'd be chickening out on showing it to the target audience halfway through writing it. So I read it over, thought over my fandoms, and knew Mercedes could be the only one who'd understand it. Rewrote it, so it would be her and Kurt. Hopefully my voice in it will just serve to make it more real, rather than pull you out of the Kurtcedes-ness.
Disclaimer: I don't claim Glee, Kurt Hummel, Mercedes Jones, or anything else in this fic that's not mine. Just needed to express myself, don't take me to court over it.
Simple
I wonder what that means
Of course, I know what I think it means
But is that what you're saying?
Or is that just your word for how I've changed?
Do you want to know what simple means to me, then?
Simple is I can't help you with your work
Even though I took your class last year
Simple is that we're different
We're never on the same side anymore
Simple is you canceling on me last minute for your brother
Again
After you moved to Dalton. After you didn't see me every day anymore
We haven't seen each other every day in a while, but still
Simple is you're bored when you're around me now
You just want it to work because we've been friends so long
Simple is I'm your sidekick that way
Because I was your first best friend
Simple is you've met my friend all of once, and when I tell you she's upset
I should give her your number
Because you've cried to me before. You don't think I'm good with these situations.
Simple is you don't like my friends
Unless they pay you more attention than me
Simple is since I have you
I can't have another best friend at all
Simple is my life is definitely better than yours
Simple is I can't understand your life because of that
Simple is when something bad happens in my life
Your response includes an "LOL been there, done that"
I knew it would. That's one of the reasons I didn't call
I didn't want to hear it
Simple is I'm still focused on fashion and beauty
You're not. Now it's all Nyada in New York, with Berry
You used to hate her, remember?
Simple is you're wise
Because in your mind, I've been through nothing
Simple is no one's ever going to cry for you
I've already cried for you, several times
Simple is we both sing, but fashion used to be our lives
I sing, and still design
You sing
And you're the artist
Simple is there are plenty of things going on in your life
I'm boring
Simple is you have everything to do
Until I have something to do without you
Simple is all that matters is who you're in love with
Unless I'm distant
Simple is I'm straight
It's true, and you're not, so you get to be less simple
Simple is you're complicated
You didn't used to be
We didn't used to be
Simple is I try to talk seriously
You get mad
Or laugh
Simple is you try to talk seriously
You think we're beginning to drift apart
I laugh
Simple is you'll always care about me
When all we have to talk about is our history
I laugh louder
Simple is we're different
We didn't used to be
Simple is you're better than me, further along
Because you're complicated
Simple is I couldn't have written a word of this
Because I'm a sidekick. I think what you think
Simple is you're denying that. All of this.
Ha, I guess I do still know how you work after all
…Simple is I'll never stop caring about you
I laugh. Guess I am simple then, right?
Like I said, this wasn't originally going to be Kurtcedes, I used a model. Which may be why something's off with the characters, if you notice anything. Hope you like it anyway. : )
