I saw the red light,
but I didn’t stop.
I saw the red flag,
and I darted forward.

Drank the green juice,
but I didn’t squint.
Saw the green envy,
and called it truce.

Ate the apricot,
without getting caught.
Ignored the flashing amber,
now I’m at a cliffhanger.

You deserve another girl;
I would be a flapper in your world.
The bad guy in your fairytale,
the one to reject the veil.

To you I was a queen,
for me you'd give up everything.
To me you were my caffeine,
until I couldn't feel the zing.

it started with a flirt,
flipped upside down,
knocked me down,
and stole my heart.

we ran our course,
tear filled eyes of remorse,
faded tattoo of her,
good bye my lover.

Four months since I last saw you,
Ashamed to say that I am beginning to forget your face,
Your red heart emoji has become blue,
Darling can we erase this space?

Being left with these thoughts is dangerous,
I need to dispose of this wicked notion,
With my mind being a landfill of commotion,
Thoughts are cancerous.
