red flags #2


Looking back,

I see all the red flags.

But I ignored them,

Cause there was something about you

I just had to have.

 

Before we dated,

You said "I love you".

I said it back.

Even though it wasn't true,

But I knew I would eventually,

So I didn't mind the waiting.

 

When we broke up,

You pretended you didn't care.

And maybe you didn't,

Because you knew

I was always gonna be there.

 

When you were down,

You always blamed me.

But I stayed silent

and took care of you,

Even though we weren't dating.

 

 Not even one week with a new girl,

Couldn't help but cheat.

Could have done it with any other person,

But  no you chose with me.

 

You always tried

To make me jealous.

But with every new girl,

I started to care less and less.

 

When I told you,

I wanted to be happy,

You got mad and made accusations.

And when I turned the tables, 

You got all sappy.

 

You told me,

I moved on too fast.

While your new girl tells me,

she knew we were never gonna last.

 

You have a new girl

every week.

But if I ever mention any other guy,

you don't let me speak.

 

All these red flags,

Has made me see.

And when I think about it,

It makes me gag.

You are toxic,

You dont care about me.

You are a player,

Using relationships

As your dependency.
