Let Down

My heart was blowing in the wind

until it found you.

You seemed to have caught it 

but like a solar flare

you set it on fire then left me without a trace.

Now all there is left is the charred remains of all the progress I had made.

All my hopes crumbling to dust,

all because I was foolish enough to believe in trust.

Like removing an arrow from an infected wound,

twisting and turning in every direction.

It is a vicious cycle of affection,

and lack there of.

I listen to the crackle of white noise over the radio.

Always waiting for an answer that will never reach me.

I just want to know.

As the time drags on,

I am suffocating slowly.

I was left alone to drift aimlessly among the stars.

There is nothing here but my thoughts and fears.

I can totally relate to this and I can feel your pain. Trust is a big issue with me. Nice writing!
