ignored red flags
everly Nov 2017
i could say
she knew she would suffer.
she had what he wanted and she gave it to him.
little did she know she wasnt the only one thats been fooled.
she thought he was the one to be there when she was hurting and when she wanted to be loved.
it was just a hit and run.
she felt so complete when they spoke.
she tries to busy herself now with hobbies..but everything she ever enjoyed doing was with him and if he wasn't with her she was thinking about him...his warm touch.

it went through her like voltage but still soothed her of her pain that she hid away for only for so long..
how he’d caress her after a long day and wanted to show her the beautiful things that she really lived for..
starting from her shoulder
ever so slightly stroke her neckline going over the necklace she always wore
and down to the small of her back,
creating slow
circular motions.
to add that extra touch, he'd then hold her jaw up just right
and lean in to whisper in her ear
all the things that sounded too good to be true.
too practiced.
he did this before
she knew it.
one red flag.

his breath sent shivers through her entire being
but wouldn't say anything since she refused to give him the satisfaction that he desired.
he knew the game too well.
he knew what he was doing to her.
one of the many red flags that she purposely chose to ignore..

she’d gasp as if trying to consume all the air whole
yet it just wasn't possible..
she thought it wasn't possible for her to fall for such a man
but it happened.
it happened and she regrets not listening to the red flags that she picked up.
now he's off.
promising another girl a night of her life.
edited "effect or affect" and i got to this. the other trended not sure how this one is looking.

there’s even a little fridge next to
your waffle mattress with
leftover chinese containers
soggy broccoli and carrots
swimmin freely in the sauce

remaining untouched
..
a matted rug on the floor of my cranium
that was unintentionally placed
collecting the dirt from your feet
treading over every
natural inclination to evict you
you sigh within me knowing i’m not strong enough

for i cant

you will eternally live
rent-free in my mind..

— The End —
