Blindsided

I wish that I could have seen your eyes, your face
Or something else to see instead of reading your
Text that came through that dark night on my cell
Phone. I was always trying to find my favorite place
To go as I had a good or bad day. I want to explore
The whole world with you by my side, but I fell
For you before the world had time to fully catch
Up. I was blindsided by the trust and love I gave,
But most of all I was blindsided by the fact you, out
Of all the people in this world who knew to snatch
Up my worries would bring them back. I forgave
You although I was at fault for ignoring the doubt
And every red flag. In the end it hurt me more than
You because while you left unscathed and unhurt
I let the pain take control. I was completely hurting,
More than you will ever truly know and I just ran
As far as I could because staying felt like a dessert
With no oxygen. You were the expert at skirting.
