Endings

I never saw the end,
An unexpected halt of motion
As I slammed against the wall.
Rejection, like a poison,
Filled my mouth.
I thought it would last forever.
Finally someone who understood,
A kindred spirit.
I must be blind.
Maybe there were signs,
Warning of impending doom.
"Stop!" "End of road!"
I never saw these.
I only saw
The eyes of my love.
Now those eyes
Haunt me,
Eyes of the betrayer.
Can I ever see the world
in the same light?
Will it ever be easy?
Learning to trust.
But I must move,
Must continue on this journey.
Perhaps I'll find another explorer.
