Again A Loss

I present myself to you

I hope that you like the view

This isn't something I should do

But I,

I'm blind

Your beauty is entrancing

Our bodies are dancing

Your beauty is entrapping

My body's betrayed me

But I,

I'm blind

I gave a gift to you

Shortsighted I should have knew

In pursuing happiness

I'm left feeling blue

Thought I could trust

That we were the same

Two flawed people

Hoping to gain

The love of each other

The warmth of acceptance

It's felt for a moment

And taken away

You ripped out my heart

You left me bleeding

Happy for a moment

Now it's fleeting

But I,

I'm Blind

And after I see

I regret

But fear of being lonely

Drags me back

Beauty blinds me

Again and again

I'm left crying

Again and again

Again and again

Again and again
