Red Roses. Not Red Flags.

Letters to My Ex Boyfriend


Listen Later

Frost is promised to soon creep in and stay.

Nights will be longer.

what Daylight you have embraced, between your blinds before,

will shortly fade. I hope your ignorance keeps you warm.

when you see your breath before you. I pray you acknowledge the distaste.

I sincerely hope you experience. what it means to fully open up and let go.

what it must be like, to lock up and pull the blinds, like you do.

what it must feel like, to burrow in such ego, like you do.

can you imagine the strength it takes, to love someone like you.

I could set fires to the universe, with the passion I hold for you.

But what a waste of my efforts and love, for a man who prefers

to burrow and lye with their eyes closed. I hope. I truly do...

I hope your ignorance keeps you warm.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

with all the disrespect you've shown me.

watch me fuck a new man, wearing your hoody.

are you lonely now? coming home to an empty bed

no matter the woman you welcome in

will fill the role i played for you. will do the little things I've done for you.

those little things you couldn't do. they added up and made a difference.

who will be there to comfort you? even with your shoulders cold,

I remained present, I made your bed. hours gone by,

no call. no sound. like a fool, I stayed right here, to hold you down.

is the quiet setting in now? candle flicker dimming now?

Who is here to support you when I'm not around?

Now that I'm miles away, can you hear me now? I've stood in your door way

sun up to sun down. begging and reasoning. You chose to let go and let be.

so now you can imagine, how sexy ill be, riding a new man wearing your hoody.

Muwaah.! Kisses baaaaabe. let that bottom lip stick out.

look at me from the corner of your eyes. tell me you're hurting through this.

you know, you're kinda cute when you pout. You're so apologetic now.

what did it? the thought of someone new? feeling replaceable, doesn't feel so good?

well, these are the cards you delt, and the decisions you chose.

it always hurts more, when, you're the one loving the most.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

nothing has changed.

These walls support your mess. I can see you've found comfort

in my absence. I hope you're happy. but, we both know, happy didn't call me

over for a night of affection. happy doesnt reach out

and keep this form of communication.

I know you're lonely. lonely answered the door with little expectations

and more questionable intentions. Im familiar with lonely.

But I'm not a Lilly...you can't just pick me when you're ready

to admire me, asset me, then toss me out when I've dried out from neglect.

I'm not your option or your maybe. we are. or. we are not.

I am warmth. I am comfort. but not for your convenience.

I am tonight, tomorrow, sun set, sunrise.

I am anchors, roots and foundation.

I am giving, trusting, sincere and apologetic. more importantly,aware

of your poor behavior. standing in your welcome,

nothing has changed.

for you.
