Blinded

I remember a time my heart used to skip from the whisper of your voice

Now my heart won’t flutter from the static produced out your mouth

I wish I could rewind the hands of time

I really wanted to be your bride

You told me to wait

Put my love on pause

You left me sore to my core

 

I tried to hide my emotions with a smile

Like a heavy coat of foundation

Tears glide over my cheeks

Silently, I cried myself to sleep

 

Dreams of your arms around me

Felt terrible 

My heart was stoned

Emancipated

My pain just wouldn't go away

 

I lusted you

You left me

 

My mind accepted

My heart rejected

My flesh waddled in anger

I was blinded by lies

 

I wish I could rewind the hands of time

 

Blinded
