Blindsided

I trusted you with my fragile heart

Thought you'd hold it safe

Not tear it apart

You wore no mask

No lies in your stare

But truth was a storm hiding somewhere

I was blindsided

Thought I was careful

But I never saw it coming

You played me like a fool

No red flags waving

No warnings in the air

I was blindsided

Left standing in despair

You said you loved me

You'd always be there

Just give you a call

And you'd help me through the dark

But then you weren't there

Left me hanging all alone

I was blindsided

Thought I was careful

But I never saw it coming

You played me like a fool

No red flags waving

No warnings in the air

I was blindsided

Left standing in despair

I should’ve seen more

You built a home with walls made of sand

I never saw the cracks in your shifting land

I gave you my trust

I gave you my time

But I didn’t see the blade you hid in the rhyme

Now once again I walk with shadows

Once again broken and alone

I carry the scar

Every step forward feels twice as far

But I’ve learned to see the glint in the night

The weapon’s not hidden when you know the fight

I'll not be hurt again

Because of you

I've no trust left to spend
