I took your flag
from a concrete post
but this was no triumphant march,
no victory call
this was an impending winter,
a breaking smile
I guess I'm sorry
I failed to hear you whisper
that you could only love me for the length my tear would fall
Author notes
have u ever mistaken something else for someone's heart...and realise that what you loved with such possession was not the real thing?
