Hidden Flags

You remind me of how this suburban life could be so much more
than this sea of green and speckled grey if only you would open up you heart.
But these hidden flags that you keep up that fly a mix from every shade and colour of an
emotional spectrum

But you’re the cold and distant rocky shore on the horizon of,
An otherwise dull yet peaceful sea

You remind of how this suburban life could be so much more
Than the domestic lull of pots and pans and telephones and old wooden floors
That formed the near perfectly flawed and broken picture of hidden fights and troubles 
Of what we once called home

But you’re the cold and distant rocky shore on the horizon of,
An otherwise dull yet peaceful sea
