Truth Exposed

You led me by hand
Into the night
Blindfolded
Smiling
Bare-boned

You told me to stay
"be right back"

And there I stood
Waiting
Smiling
So excited to see

As a chill
Swept across my neck

I waited
You called out
"I'm coming"
I stayed
Uncertain

I drew in the sand
My name and then yours
I believed in your presence
Claiming the smile
That is mine

Chilled
I grabbed my sweater
And drew it close

I returned to the sand

But when I looked up
Days, months had passed
You never came back

You left the truth exposed
