You love me one minute
Then hate me
The next
Red flags... painted white
I am so willing
To forgo parts of myself
Just to hold onto you
JUST.
BECAUSE.
I.
LOVE.
YOU.
So I paint your red flags white
I love you in color
Yet you love me
In black n' white
Two half's make a hole
What happens when one half's
Broken inside?
Can you still be
The missing piece that completes me?
My heads on a swivel
The emotional
Roller coaster you have me on
Is making me sick inside
RED FLAGS... PAINTED WHITE
When your gone I miss you
Can't wait to kiss you
But when around
I feel like I'm walking on eggshells
On the inside
Everything I do is wrong
You asked for a poem
So I wrote you one
How am I
Supposed to devote my life
To a person
Who can't even commit
To herself
She'll love another nigga so hard
Just because
She doesn't want to
Take the time
To love herself
Red flags painted white
I'd be a silly fool
To continue
To love another
Who could
Never love herself
The same way
She loves another Nigga
If you're reading this
I've finally decided
That this...
Just ain't it
It's best that we separate
Before I become like
The broken pieces
Of all your ex's
You so kindly swept up
N' dumped into my lap
CHATTERED
Red flags
So kindly painted white
You played lawmaker
As I played the law abiding citizens
Following every rule made
As I sat by
Unsettled, watching you...
You chipped away
At the heart I mended
N' built up from the ground
You burned every bridge
I took time to create
Severed the relationships I built
At the neck
I dropped down to my knees
Begging the only GOD
I knew
Please.
I knew at this point it was either
You or me...
My heart couldn't take it anymore
You sucked me dry
Every white flag
Painted white
Would be the reason
Every teardrop shed
Killed me a little more inside
I should've known
Where this was going
That night
You looked me
Dead in my eyes
Then lied
A lie never sounded
So sweet
A lie that parted your lips
Kissed mine so passionately
Who knew that the tales you told
Could be so tall
A lie like I love you
Reached into my chest
Then ripped my heart out
From the insides
Everything thing we had gone through
Was for not
RED.
FLAGS.
PAINTED.
WHITE.
