Love me not
It was pouring down rain
dashed out the door
you were no longer outside
that was our valentine’s gift to each other
plain absence
you waited and waited for me
but I was imprisoned inside
I cried and cried
until the door revealed me free
as you disappeared in the darkened night
walking in a fast pace
singing under my breath about us
unaware of your posture on the stoop
slowly crossing the road
to get to my front porch
stumbled back five steps
regained my strength as I hurriedly cross the road
you called out my name
and told me to meet you up front
after I’ve changed out of my school attire
I can’t say our story was perfect
but in the night
I held my rose
taking out its petals
petal after petal
singing under my breath
“he loves me, he loves me not”
continuously, until the flower is dead
toward he loves me not, it stopped
I remember hanging out with you
in my cream khakis; no posture of a girl
we were joking around and laughing
you took my hand and kissed me eyes closed
gently slid across my neck
to tell me, “I love you”
I told you, "only if you know how I feel about you,
you’d keep these words alive
the more you spoke, the more strength I gained
only if you knew how true it really was..
in the night my tears slid
as I braid out my hair
branches on branches
wash my face, starring at the mirror
take my clothes off and laugh
as tears slid out as I’m
putting on my sweats and head out to bed
when I don’t see you, I don’t live
I felt like you slurred life out of me
and you’d come as if nothing went wrong
I’d take your hand, as you let your bike go
hug you so firmly as you’d kiss me
as if forever had went on by
so why am I walking in the night
tears sliding down my face
I honestly can’t get intimate with you
I’m scared for God, I’m scared for us
as you finally said it’s okay
I’m a child, you understand
how old can one be to be called a child
I get mad at the night, you and me
and rush home
I’m wondering if you love me
or love me not
take out a rose flower
I don’t like valentine’s day
but I believe what we got is love
singing under my breath
as my head hung down low
walking slowly as if saying to the rose
he should love me, yeah he should
I get all happy as you’re coming around
take my hand and guided me to you
as I’ve finally stopped fronting
cuz the rose applied the truth that you love me
so how come the night screams of injustice
and i’m fazed out by you bae
eyes of tears as you stood with her
singing low and low, I don’t need the rose
to tell me that you love me not
you took her hand and walked her home
hysterically laughing was all I could do
otherwise, I’d be in tears
I finally gave you myself
you treat me as the rest
couldn’t you see love written in my eyes
as you’ve marked my life
marked me as your territory
they know not of my story
all they know is they were given glance
I’ve learned and I now understand
cuz Drey sometimes roses lie
and you said you love me beyond words
your actions proved: you love me not
heartbroken and confused
