White To Live

White noise is all I hear

When you utter your hurtful thoughts

White lights in every tear

When I think of what you've taken from me.

πŸ’ŸπŸ’ŸπŸ’ŸπŸ’Ÿ

White on white,

You were obsessed.

Everything had to be white,

Except for the love that you betrayed.

πŸ’ŸπŸ’ŸπŸ’ŸπŸ’Ÿ

White lies are what you gave.

My tears flowed blood red.

No excuse for how you behave

Just condemnation instead.

πŸ’ŸπŸ’ŸπŸ’ŸπŸ’Ÿ

My white horse is all stained with red,

Bloodied and confused.

I saved your life, that’s what you said,

And now I just feel used and abused.

πŸ’ŸπŸ’ŸπŸ’ŸπŸ’Ÿ

So go ahead and think you’re white

Live your life as you choose.

But when you try to sleep at night,

It’s you who will see what you lose.

πŸ’ŸπŸ’ŸπŸ’ŸπŸ’Ÿ

Till next time,

Calvin
