Love Is Blind

 

 

 

 

Love Is Blind

 

If  you would hear and you would see

How much I needed you

You'd know then how much I loved you true -

 

If I could hear those little words whispered in my ear

You would wipe away my fear -

 

But you do not see, you are blind to me, I do not exist

I cry tears for the beautiful things we could have had

And missed -

 

You do not see or hear the tears I shed at night

I don't think my world will ever now be right -

 

How was I so blind and foolish to see what I wanted to see

to think you could become all I wanted you to be -

 

I heard what I wanted to hear from your words of deceit

Words of emptiness, of flattery, oh so sweet!

 

My dreams have gone and I'm left alone to mourn

My world and heart left tattered and torn -

 

If only I had and listened to the warning voice inside

not gone and thrown away my pride -

 

Be careful when you throw empty promises around

Words can strike a woman's very core and sorely wound

If only you could understand ~

This poem presents a common plight among lovers. It inspired me to write the following gift poem for you which you may keep as your own.

Blind Love

Needing you so much,
I'm blind to your lies
cause I need your touch
and your big brown eyes.

While within your clutch,
I'm not very wise.
I ignore red smutch
on your shirts and ties.

I take you as such.
I believe your guise.

sometimes the significant other just doesn't get it...that reassurance is needed...much more than the initial contact and showering of affection...once relationships grow older...the need is still there..although some are oblivious to that once the excitement and newness wear off...it's that taking for granted thing.

this touched me deeply.

so sad...
and so tender...
and beautiful as always!

What a perceptive poem. So many of us are hurt by those who don't even realize they are hurting us so deeply. I like how the woman in the poem accepts some of the blame for only seeing what she wants to see. It keeps the poem tender, and stops it from becoming a overly bitter breakup poem. It is heartfelt and sad. Well done. I enjoyed it.

being blind and foolish....Nicely done Helena as always...Rose
