I saw the red flags
And I didn't walk by
Not because
I didn't want to
But because
You never let me
If you had awaited
With open arms
At the end of the hellish road
Who knows?
Maybe I would've burned
For you
Against my better judgment
Oh, S!
You make me feel
Ashamed and Excited
All at the same time
Oh, fuck my dignity!
What judgement do I have?
My knowledge
From mere watching others
Love and live a real life
While I'm withering away
Chasing nothing apparently
Oh fuck everything
I have ever known
It is you that makes me feel
Alive!
