Blindsided

Blinded by fiction.

Its what I don’t say,

that lies the danger

and rattles your cage

I’m not a victim.

I should have suspected.

But my eyes were blind

to the sight, unprotected.

You blindsided me

I’m hit on the inside

I’m off my game

You came up from behind

My mind drained empty

from echoes and from stares

I was well grounded

until you got there.

With a song in your heart

and a smile on your face,

knocked me to the floor

left me with a sour taste.

Love is the danger, the feeling I taste

Its the fear that Im falling flat on my face

I pick myself up from silence to storm

not that I noticed or was even warned

Were driving down the side streets and staging the show

We got it all all figured out and were letting it go

I overlooked you theres a craving and host

you came out of the woodwork like some kind of ghost

I’m going down.


I can feel you inching, stop inching.


See me take a fall

Didn’t know you were near

objects closer

Than they all appear.
the bactine sting of the sun.
