Red Flags
Within me lays a vacancy,-
a searing pain deep in my heart.
Despite how we had left things-
I cannot stand being apart.
This cavern in my chest-
It aches for you, and only you.
Your absence tears my soul,
and leaves my insides black & blue.
So many pricless moments-
(I wouldn't) trade them for the world.
But sometimes, dear, you you scare me... I watch as your darkness unfurls.
You become a different person-
lately, it's been moreso than not.
Where did your softness go?-
Don't think once that I forgot.
It hasn't dissapeared, of course!-
You still speak to me sweet nothings.
You lift me to the skies-
make sure I know that I'm worth something.
Know in my heart you love me...-
or maybe that's just what I hope.
Just what are these red flags?-
Where are they from? How do I cope?
I'm sure things will be fine-
we all have bad days afterall.
You're just stressed,
So I'll be here in case you ou fall.
All that being said-
it means it's not like this forever.
I'll survive all of these storms-
if it means we can be together.
