Red Flags

When someone tells you they’re not a good choice, believe them.

A kindness is when

An emotional vampire

Shows those blood red flags

The greatest kindness

Is when they show ‘em before

They have drunk to deep

But sometimes those vamps

Wait until you’re churned dizzy

By waves of sorrow

And waterlogged by

Confusion and bad guesses

Then unfurl their truth:

You are but food and pleasure

To their greedy mouths!

*

When will you realize

That all her flowers were lies

and break from her trance?
