RED LIGHT

What started out as a simple atrraction

Turned out to be something else

What I started denying in front of my friends

Turned out to be my waiting distraction.

Maybe, I am not for you

Or maybe, it's the other way around-

You are not for me

And that truth cuts so deep

About as deep as a lone reed.

I promise, I'll stop right here

I'll end whatever I have for you

So I won't take an ice cold beer

For this heartbreak made me subdue.

I'll succumbed to the darkness

Inside the remnants of a fallen fortress

Of what was once a place to harness

This love I have hidden with such demureness.

I promise to keep everything about you to myself

Our story will be kept in a hidden book shelf

But please, as a consolation, do me some favour

Can you stop flirting with that expressive eyes of yours?
