Red

Fell in love with a person good at heart Maybe not so much in practice But oh his potential He just needs some love, it’s essential He loves and feels dearly Has had bad experiences so acts cold and fiercely I wanted to touch his heart And from then on everything fell apart I wanted to be his personal haven Tried and got hurt, not even an exaggeration The only symbol of love I witnessed was red Red from all of the bleeding that I tried to suppress From trying to touch his heart surrounded with prickly fences I tried to have thick skin, to still go on and try Till I grew too numb And now I've just given up on every guy He was worth the struggle But I'm more worthy of saving from all that trouble Cause I’m fluid, I can't be pushed down or be bind So I broke things off to be kind As it would have just led us to frustration And it's hard to explain, so for now, I’ll blame miscommunication
