I've always known trust shouldn't be taken lightly
and I never have
getting me to trust you is like running a mile
the coach standing by is my subconscious
ticking off every red flag I don't notice
but I will
cause every night
like a drill
I lie awake overthinking
me and my subconscious
having conversations in a diner
our cups are never refilled but somehow we don't stop drinking
what's the tea?
well today the me across the table
nearly dropped her glass
nearly
cause a person we love and dared to trust dearly
showed us just why the emotion shouldn't be taken lightly
nearly
because only slightly
was it a surprise
see
we
my subconscious and I
somehow knew
after the first time
we knew those red flags
it was only a few
but that's what a pattern is right?
make a few rounds before it comes back
poised is the flag we always knew would return
but hoped it wouldn't
because our heart breaks every time
can't let ourselves be stupid again
take a flag or pattern for what it is
and reel that trust back in
