there is a girl

blindsided

there was something about us

that words couldn't describe

like the art you'd make of my body

or the confidence you'd write on my skin

we spent countless hours together

with numbed feet on cold streets

legs intertwined in warm sheets

fingers tracing jaw and cheek

everything seemed too good to be true

but i accepted it because i'd never had it

and then one morning you left

without a goodbye or a kiss, not even a call

and hours went by before i wondered

what must have gone wrong

but i couldn't recall anything 

that had gone disarray because our nights

were pure bliss, but then

you left me in silence 

for days i didn't hear from you

and when i did it was short, but not even sweet

just an obligated message that bled 

boredom and defeat

within just one minuscule week,

you were leaving plans and acting meek

lowering your voice and your eyes

as if the girl you loved was all a lie

i didn't change, you did in one night

and i told you i noticed something wasn't right

but instead of telling me what was wrong

you just broke my heart.

in one, swift, stone-cold text

that wasn't you at all.
