Here, I’m still waiting on the rising,
But again, I go fading out of sight.
I guess, to you, it must be surprising,
How I was gone before sparks ignite.
Blowing- free flowing- in your direction,
Cut short by a sudden change in wind,
Gusts trade vision with my projection.
Reversing in confusion- now I rescind.
For it’s you who holds my attention,
But by a selfish means of protection,
Had me leaving before a storm began.
I can see I was creating a rejection
But there really wasn’t even a plan.
My patterns of impulse and projection
Regrettably have led to your doubt,
And damage to a wholesome connection.
I admit- I reeled you in, I spit you out.
But I didn’t mean to be deceiving-
I’m just a little abandoned and abused
Was never good with people leaving,
Sorry I left you bruised and confused.

There is something about this I really like, even though I am confused by it! I am going to have to keep going back to read it again! Well done!
it's about abandoning someone first because you are scared of them abandoning you. But of course it can mean whatever to you : )
thank you so very much for the read, the feedback, and the comment. I appreciate you taking the time to give me feedback.
so, so clever!
from your title, to your structure's form and choice wording:
'Cut short by a sudden change in wind,
Gusts trade vision with my projection.
Reversing in confusion- now I rescind.
For it’s you who holds my attention,'
just a great write! thanks for sharing
