Blindsided by Dust

Her whispers of "love," a suffocating embrace,
She claimed I was her air, her very space.
Blinded, I clung to a love's sweet charade,
Ignoring whispers, the warnings that frayed.

Smiles, kisses, a tapestry brightly spun,
Purpose bloomed, a battle fought and won.
Deaf to murmurs, blind to crimson signs,
Lost in a dream where forever entwines.

Now dust settles, a truth I can't deny,
The façade crumbles, a love turned a lie.

This one is not about love at first sight but rather another one bites the dust. Enjoyed!
