Blindsided

I asked what i did to deserve 

this man loving me 

but i didn’t ask if it would be worth it 

the day that he would leave 

i thought i knew us both 

even thought i might foresee

the best will come if i think of others

and let go of all the good it did to me 

but nothing prepared me for the emptiness 

and my deep infernal greed 

i was most human most volatile 

when you were at my feet 

when you allowed yourself to be tamed

with the utmost humility 

winning my heart in the most subtle of ways 

and then giving it back to me
