Love me, Or not
CC BYLove me? Or not.
I pick a red rose
Red signifies love so I turn my head up
And pray to the lord up above
Give me a sign and tell me guide me
Is it a yes or a no
My fingers get to plucking
My mouth says the words
He loves me he loves me not
He loves me because he sent me reels when I was sleep and he told his mother about me I'm also a fool for love and what I wouldn’t do to feel that love specifically from you so
He loves me not when someone else walks by your eyes trail off losing sight of me and when you do look at me it’s no longer my eyes you look at
My God I pray to telling him to remove evil from my life and when it was, I begged for it back
I said God please if he's not good for me remove him
He loves me my God my Lord and my savior
He loves me not
The message God tells me is he lusts me he loves me not
The last petal there
He loves me not
That red dried up petal waiting to rejoin what once was beautiful
A beautiful rose
Picked apart
Why would such a beautiful thing need to be picked apart to then finally see the ever-lying truth
As I wished there was just one more petal to get an answer I know isn't real
I searched for love and found myself in confusion
I look there at the stem slowly fading
I once was the rose
And you wanted to see how many petals I had left
Till I became bare
I will plant what is left in better soil
because
I love me
