Flags

Flags

One flag. Two flags
Three flags. Four

The red  flags were
Popping up. 
But I chose to ignore. 

From no pictures together 
Or letting the world know
That I was your man
And you were my girl. 

I fell for you hard and told 
You my fears. And you said 
You were different 
And I had nothing to fear 
Because we were perfect for
Each other. And I would not 
Shed a tear. 

But here I am now. Going
Through the pain. 
Because I fell in love 
With someone who didn’t 
feel the same. 

Your words melted my heart
But your actions proved true
You just wanted me for what 
I could do for you. 

Now your with another man
And I’m not even a second 
Thought. 
I should have paid attention 
To those flags. 
And maybe now I wouldn’t 
Have a broken heart.
