You brought me flowers Was honestly surprised Certainly were beautiful Betrayal cleverly disguised I awoke without you there Note explaining where you went When you came home with a big bouquet Knew exactly what that meant That in the hours you were away Had done something I’d disapprove Suspicions were confirmed by that gesture I had no way to prove Sifted through your phone of course You’re good at covering tracks Had plans to meet up with some girl Was told to chill and relax That you did not actually follow through Stopped to drop off some dope Her and a couple of other people Reason for me to mope It was other errands you ran Took so long You swear Don’t know if you expect me to believe Or you just don’t care You thought you were sneaky and smart Bringing somebody along Because if you had a chaperone Could you have done anything wrong? Which would have worked eons ago I’m catching on to your tricks Hard as I try to tear down your walls You’re faster stacking bricks I ask from you the truth Though i give more in return By now should be used to the sadness My stupid heart refuses to learn I keep asking what’s wanted from me Thinking I’m not worthy of a reply Maybe you don’t know the answer Either way I am left asking why Why can’t you stop slipping away? Out of hands and into the air All we’ve been through Ups and downs Now do you not want me there? I am hoping this is just a phase Patient I force myself to be You get it out of your system Like you when waiting for me I have made poor choices in the past Forgive me but can’t forget Tried to move forward and start over I can tell it still makes you upset I suspect that is justification Smashing my heart to pieces I hate myself for all that I am Your attraction decreases I do not know when feelings shifted It’s clear yours aren’t the same Maybe til now you were pretending Whole relationship simply a game My head beyond damaged Stories that don’t make sense I am going crazy Issues seem so immense I am easily manipulated By your hand Into different shapes I can no longer stand You are my biggest weakness Temptation I can’t resist I can’t have you for my own Should I even exist? I should thank you for your presence You come home to me each night As you spend days with other women I fear you can’t stand my sight I wish I could trust like before You won’t give deceit a rest See through your veil of loyalty Know better than protest I wonder Did you get her a present? If the floral arrangement was just for me May not be fair to hate her Probably shares my agony Except has the worse half of the deal I get most of your heart Rest is scattered in pieces Others have a tiny part They should have common decency Respect the commitment we share Since it clearly doesn’t matter to you Why would they bother to ******* care? I am aware I am a lucky girl Call you my best friend If you no longer picture a future together Don’t prolong the end I do not know how to change this To make you happy once more Hold the flood of tears inside The second you walk out the door Then waterfalls gush out of eyes Rivers of snot flow from nose Have no interest in hearing my sorrows I won’t burden you with my woes I try maintaining composure You are near Should be able to sense my emotions Not as stable as they appear But you are constantly distracted Consistently divided I pour my all into a relationship Grows more and more one-sided Even if you stop buying presents Come back to the house less and less I will remain devoted and true Never fixing this mess Roses the closest I will get Any sort of apology Someday you won’t buy me flowers You’ll only need to be with me

**** Up Flowers
You brought me flowers Was honestly surprised Certainly were beautiful Betrayal cleverly disguised I awoke without you there Note explaining where you went When you came home with a big bouquet Knew exactly what that meant That in the hours you were away Had done something I’d disapprove Suspicions were confirmed by that gesture I had no way to prove Sifted through your phone of course You’re good at covering tracks Had plans to meet up with some girl Was told to chill and relax That you did not actually follow through Stopped to drop off some dope Her and a couple of other people Reason for me to mope It was other errands you ran Took so long You swear Don’t know if you expect me to believe Or you just don’t care You thought you were sneaky and smart Bringing somebody along Because if you had a chaperone Could you have done anything wrong?

Why is it the only time you act romantic is when you piss me off???
