So Blind

You watched me slip slowly away. 
I remember my feelings that very day
Feeling my hand slip through yours
Turning away, not letting you have a say.

You watched me build that lonely wall
I can remember standing so very small
Feeling my heart turn so cold
Turning away, I’d do nothing but fall.

You watched me hide and withdraw
I can remember closing that very door
Feeling confusion build up inside
Turning away, why would I want more?

I watched you cry in my mind
You remember my love being so kind
Feeling lonely without you here
Turning to you….I’ve been so blind
