Misled

by Walter   Jan 7, 2020


No it wasn't my choice or something that I saw
It wasn't on my mind there was nothing there at all
The night we first met I had no idea
How much I would long to always want you near

When we were introduced I thought you sounded nice
But never for a moment did you make me think twice
When that night was over we went our separate ways
We both just said goodbye without further delays

I must admit at first you weren't even on my mind
Nor was I looking or hoping you I'd find
But our paths crossed again this time in a store
Our conversation continued from the night before

Now you gave your number and then asked for mine
And before too long we both went out to dine
The night was filled with laughter and talking constantly
I truly was amazed by our compatibility

Of course this didn't stop and we planned further nights
The friendship that we formed just made it feel so right
It wasn't long until I was knocking on your door
And suddenly you're someone I no longer can ignore

One night walking home the full moon shining high
As usual to your door before saying goodbye
This time there was a pause and a chance I couldn't miss
We were standing so close and destined for a kiss

But suddenly you stopped and broke all the charm
As if some thought in your mind began to ring alarms
You said that you were sorry but we are only friends
And if you were misled I truly did not intend

Now standing in the cold as you have gone inside
I'm still coming to terms with what you just implied
And I can feel my heart just beginning to crack
When you fall in love with someone who doesn't love you back

    I’m really impressed with the rhyming in this poem and I love how each section is broken apart to reflect a different chapter in the relationship.

    I think you’ve beautifully captured how easy it is to find yourself enamored of someone. And how truly heartbreaking it is when it isn’t reciprocated.

    Beautiful write.
