Lead On
I was lead on
By her golden hair
Flowing gracefully behind her
It was almost like walking on air
I was lead on
By her star struck eyes
Always looking at me
She always had confident strides
What I didn’t realize
At the time
Was she was looking through me
Beyond what I could see
Because all I could see
Was her, or so it seems
I was lead on
By her cursed curves
The one on her mouth
And the ones I had to unearth
I was lead on
By her dazzling skin
I just couldn’t stop staring
It just never seemed to dim
That light that shined
From her, towards me
She was one of a kind
But it just wasn’t meant to be
I was lead on
She never fully intended to stay
Even though she made me believe she did
There’s just so much we didn’t say
I was lead on
Onto this path
And then I was left abandoned
And now looking back
I can’t see where I started
I can’t see where I came from
I don’t know how to get home now
I guess what’s done is done
I was lead on
By her scent in the breeze
Drifting so swiftly through my sinus’
The smell could make my heart seize
I was lead on
She made me believe
Just to turn around and rip it all away
There is no sigh of relief
Just pain and grief
This mountain I am climbing
Is just way too steep
She lead me up here
And then proceeded to jump
To a place I couldn’t reach
At a pace I could never keep
No matter how high I tried to leap
I just couldn’t make it
And there she is
Right in front of me
A mirage of a different kind
A reflection is all I can see
Even though she’s so far away
She’s right here in my mind
Leading me onward and upward
Leading me while blind
Blinded by her
Blinded by her light
She stole all of my days
So now I dwell within the night
She lead me on
To an unfamiliar place
There are no similarities
There is no familiar face
And as I try to retrace
My way back to where I once resided
I realize there’s just no going back
That conclusion has me divided
I yearn to go back
But know that is in vain
I can only move forward
I have to move on with the pain
Of having loved and lost
Of having been lead on
Because I was, indeed, lead on
By her beautifully imperfect mind
So now I’m left wondering why
And wishing I could hit rewind
