Face Value

Was I so foolish to believe

 you would love me for me?

Without ever laying eyes on my body,

 you claimed you were in love.

And now we stand ten feet

 apart, in the airport near my home.

You turn on your heel

 and walk away, to leave me

 on

  my

     own.

Was my appearance too much to take in?

Or was it not enough?

Confusion overrides anger

as I stand in the crowd,

watching you go.

OMG. i adore this poem, it really conveys the feeling very well. especially the way you spaced "on my own" because the words are separated, on their own. this reminds me of like.. internet dating. or it also makes me think of someone looking for their biological parent and finding them through internet, or phone or something like that. great job. :]

"You turn on your heel
and walk away, to leave me"

This was simply outstanding!
As a reader, I could feel each and every emotion behind this piece of writing.
The language is simply flawless and structure is also very appealing.
A great work overall.
