Oblivious

My pain was your pain.
You saw the hurt in my eyes.
You saw me strain,
So you pulled me aside.

You led me through the grass,
While you gently grasped my hand.
Then we sat on a bench at last,
As you read my emotions trying to understand.

My love what’s wrong you tenderly asked.
I remained silent; refused to reply.
But my true feelings I could no longer mask,
As my suspicions continued to rise.

You know what’s wrong
I softly answered back.
Attempting to appear to be strong
But my voice began to crack.

Why, how dare you, what’s her name?
Babe you should have some trust in me,
Calm down and let me explain.
It’s a misunderstanding you see.

You said I had trust issues from my past.
I sat and listened; you seemed right.
With him and my ex’s I shouldn’t compare and contrast?
You turned the tables on me but still held me tight.

And you wiped away every single tear.
While I poured my heart out to you.
I revealed how I’ve been hurt before and showed my pain.
I confided in you which is something I normally don’t do.

You deserve better than how you were treated
I will never hurt you is what you said.
I love and respect you too much to have ever cheated.
I hung on and believed every word you said.

You looked me in the eyes like you would never look away.
Then caressed my cheek with the fingertips of your strong hands.
You pressed your lips against mine as I prayed this feeling could stay.
This confusion was something I could no longer withstand.

With your sweet embrace I felt secure in your arms.
I felt loved and wanted and I trusted again.
I truly believed you would bring me no harm.
But don’t all good things come to an end?

In reality I was simply sinking into the beauty of your lies.
I was blinded by that false love.
I thought I loved someone that I shouldn’t have even liked.
You hurt me more than anyone else could of.

You truly played me for a fool.
You’ve broken me with lies, deceit, and infidelity.
Desperately I look back on your actions and missed clues.
Why did I ever believe you could be faithful to me?
