You captured my attention with ease. I’m not sure what compelled me to you. Maybe it was you’re attraction to me when I overlooked you. Maybe it was the blue of your eyes that matched the sky on those cloudless days you knew I loved. Maybe it was the confidence you had to joke around in the cleverest of ways. Maybe your out-of-the-box intelligence  intrigued my constantly curious mind. Maybe it was your passion that always looked past the present and into the future. Maybe it was your smile that made me lose my breath and put a stop to my words...

...Whatever it was...

...The things that made my mind unclear
From the start
Those that drew me near
They are the same ones my heart
Warned me to fear

And just as things went astray
I knew my emotions imposed
As you began to fade
No concern was disclosed

However as I began to reach
Your voice went adrift
Although I may have impeached
You were the one to swiftly shift

I never understood the charade
That left you so composed
Was it a fun game you played
You believed that I had froze

Sheltered from the change
Thought it was handled with the best approach
Did you seek for us to estrange
Unable for the topic to be broached

What caused you to stall?
The point of acceptance?
Realization leaves you appalled
In the near distance

As I sat there and replayed
Your commitment to implement civility
Acting like you’re ahead of the game
Trust that you misplayed pathetically

A force you chose to be reckoned with
As you set me aside
You have become a frivolous myth
Which leaves you petrified as I stand purified

You’ll be wishing everything stayed the same
Your searches will be incomplete
As you sit and sulk, you’re one to blame
I’ve left you behind while you so desperately plead

The words that once made me sway
Are barren and trivial quite frankly
Those were the ones you use to get me to stay
Thank you for letting me leave abruptly

Breathless there you stand
Gawking at your unfortunate circumstance
This isn’t possibly what you had planned
As I advance and leave with no final glance...

...Whatever this was...

My heart warned me to fear
Those that drew me near,
They are the same ones
From the start,
The things that make my mind unclear

Maybe, in the beginning, that day
Those were all the things that made my mind clear
But when things went astray
They were the same ones my heart warned me were insincere
The things that drew me near
Will be the ones you use to keep me away
You began to fade
And when it was time for you to convey
I realized my affections were mislaid
And you left me to replay
The slightest change in your charade
Was it that I...
My mind realized to stay away
