Maybe I enter
Too loud for anybody's
Liking to want me
A tiny body
Bursting with emotions that
Come off very strong
Scaring off those who
Can't handle my excitement
Of what 'us' could be
Imagining what
New adventures lie ahead
Possibilities
Maybe I shouldn't
Give my all too soon before
True colors are shown
I set myself up
For heartbreak by others that
I know to expect
Still it sets me back
Wondering what I did wrong
For calls to decrease
For good morning texts
To end suddenly and the
Good night ones as well
Maybe I accept
Toxic flaws turning a blind
Eye to the red flags
Trapping myself in
A box feeling too attached
To leave before its
Too late and it builds
To a situation-ship
I can't let go of
So I become used
To this cycle of lets just
Be friends on repeat
