Yellow is my new Red.

Burned

That’s what my heart was

Scared

That’s what it is now

To enter something new

Without using my head

It’s sad to say but true

Yellow is my new red

Unfair

There’s no doubt that’s what this is

Selfish?

That’s how I think I may feel

Continuing on a relationship with you

So far and so fast

Not knowing if what we have is true

Has the time to stop gone past?

I’m scared, confused, recovering

That’s why I’m so unsure

I have to make sure to myself

That what I feel for you is pure

I don’t know how I’ll do this

It’s not an easy task

But I want to make sure that what we have

Does have a chance to last

And so I do what is not me

And sit and hesitate

I do not want your love for me

To one day turn to hate

I couldn’t do it last time

I fear I’ll fail again

Then someday in the future

Have to relive the pain

Of breaking up with someone

To rescue them from me

I’m not sure I could do it

I’d rather have someone strong enough

Strong enough to leave

Understand….

You’ve been nothing short of fabulous

I should jump with you but instead

I see a possibility of danger and hesitate

Because yellow is my new red.
