Red Flag

You say you're no prince of mine,
but what else could you be?

A hitchhiker in my heart,
a pedestrian in my mind?

Is that you under the harsh sun,
holding a holey parasol?

Maybe you're fleeing
the crime scene 
of your heartbreaking.

But you see,
none of that makes 
any sense to me.

So I wait here,
for you to appear 
on a cream-colored horse.
