I'm not Blind

I woke up this morning

And i was feeling kind of old

Thinking about the dreams i had lost

And some that i had sold

Can't help but wonder if this was

Part of some grand design

I might be a fool for love

But I'm not blind

 

Oh its just getting colder in this house

And the road's been much too long

I see her face in every crowd

I hear her name in every song

I'm starting to feel

Just a little left behind

I might be a fool for love

But I'm not blind

 

She ain't got room in her life

for the likes of me

I know that nothing in life

Is given away for free

I can always tell when shes got

Someone else on her mind

I might be a fool for love

But I'm not blind

 

Each day it's getting harder for me

To open up my eyes

I just keep getting the same results

After so many ties

Maybe I'm just afraid

Of what i might find

I might be a fool for love

But I'm not blind

 

Oh how the days a getting shorter

And its getting hard for me to breathe

I just hope that my prayers are heard

before its time for me to leave

I'm sinking faster now

And I'm getting closer to the line

I pray to the Lord I'll find love

Just one more time

This was inspired by a Bob Dylan song

Once being in love before I hope you do find it one more time. What an amazing feeling and emotion love is and everyone should be in it. The world would be a better place and maybe everyone would write poetry. Another fine write from you. Thanks for the read request. Sorry for the time it took but life just grab a hold of me and I had to do a few other things.

This is very touching and something we all can surely identify with, at some time in our lives. I love the flow, here. The rhyming is perfect. I agree with Chaos, definitely song worthy.

The only change I would make is in the last stanza. "Breath" would work better if it was "breathe". I think you might have meant for it to be so, as breathe would rhyme with leave . . . maybe just a typo?

Other than that, it is perfect. Your thoughts and feelings are captured magnificently within this piece.

Thank you for sharing.
