Waving The White Flag

Waving The White Flag

A Poem by JayJayBlue
"

About willingly people will settle and fall in love with people that are a negative or destructive influence

"
We invite you to the battleground
Love is an arena defiled several times
All of the heartbreak set to repeat
All those tears already cried

Have you seen the tired logic?
"I'm trapped in a dark place"
"It's just something I have to do"
It's just I'm so f*****g tired of you

Why should you rise from the ashes
When you keep walking back into the fire?

She feels a sense of duty
To make what's broken whole again
He feels complacency
It's easier to settle than to lose

He feels placated and secure
Gamble with her misplaced feelings
She's naive, self-destructing
It's easier to surrender than to refuse 

Romance is a country in turmoil
It endures for no reason but fear
Of being left out in the cold
Is it better to be bought and sold?

There's no better life in this
To be together for no reason at all
Do you want a place to rest your head?
You should just fall asleep instead

You just keep coming back
Your friends wave the white flag

She feels a sense of duty
To make what's broken whole again
He feels complacency
It's easier to settle than to lose

He feels placated and secure
Gamble with her misplaced feelings
She's naive, self-destructing
It's easier to surrender than to refuse 

And at the finish
As the credits roll
There's no sunsets in paradise for us
Just the ghosts and feeling cold
