Blink Poem by Starfish ZA

I blink to stop the tears from falling
But I wish it would shut out the pain
How can you blame me, for us ending this way
When you gave up on me, and the dreams we had

We loved from the first time we met
It was like we found our soulmate
Long walks in boundless beauty
Endless sharing of our life's hurts
Was I just a rebound, for you heart to heal
Years of waiting for you to be free
Never questioning why I was your secret
Finally a quest for commitment
And you drove me away from you
A cold and uncaring person replaces you

I blink to stop the tears from falling
You've shut the door to our love
How can you say I failed you, walked out of your life?
When I never left you, life drove us apart

Don't you understand I never left you?
This curveball just another challenge,
to keep us together and strong
But you chose to find another
With no explanation or reason to me
What happened to what we felt
What happened to the depth of our love
It all seems so empty now,
as you've turned my life inside out
An unresponsive person, replaces you
