All I wanted was an explanation

Why you ran away when we’d just begun

Why you disappeared the way you did

Let your words & their intent be candid

Filtered vision must have had me mislead

Felt I understood the situation, yet somehow still misread

I didn’t set expectations and yet still felt tooled

You seemed so authentic; I’m impressed, you had me fooled

Sincere in not wanting to disappoint me

I set no expectations, at least hardly

Yet I was left feeling unworthy

As if my presence was unnecessary

Or at least anymore

Maybe…

…there was nothing left to explore

Maybe…

…you felt I was a bore

Maybe…

…you craved someone with more

More confidence

More beauty

More laughter

Perfection exuding

It just wasn’t meant to be me

But at least have the decency to give me clarity.
