Amidst the voices that surround us, all I seem to find are crimson flags,
I strive to silence those whispers in my ears, to honor your heart's tags.

Yet, it feels as though my efforts go astray, a futile chase, I ponder, is it truly worth it, in this intricate maze?

They speak of spiritual turmoil, urging me to hold on and persist,
But for how long must I endure, how long can I pretend to subsist?

While I stand before you, feigning happiness, inside, I'm slowly crumbling, Love, they say, is blind, but I argue, in my heart, it's rumbling.

I question my place in your world, the significance of my emotions, Am I even deserving of your devotion, or am I lost in love's endless oceans?

I've labored to become your everything, but it appears in vain,A point has come where your actions no longer inflict pain.

Reality dawns upon me, the red flags are too numerous to bear,I possess feelings too, hurt by your words and actions, though I wear a stoic air.

My silence doesn't signify ignorance, I observe and hold complaints untold,
In a relationship, it's both our stories to unfold.

At this moment, I'm fatigued from battling for a love that's fading,I choose to observe, for the strength to fight is slowly evading.

I've lost the interest in this strife, let life lead our way,
For now, I'll focus on me, selfish with my emotions, I'll sway.
