The Warning Signs
You probably see walls,
Fences, blood shot eyes
And a face deprived of emotions
Hair warning to stay away
So you did as you were told;
Stayed behind the defence shield
So you wouldn't hurt yourself
With the thorns and nails
Hence you never bothered
To look beyond them
Or even try, so you wouldn't know
The person who craves long talks,
Or random smiles and happy promises,
Handwritten notes and odourless flowers
Or maybe you did and yet,
You had a hard time admitting
That you were no better than me
