Blind

Blind

A Poem by kmacdonald78
"

They say Love is Blind but there is another kind of blindness. There is a blindness in people who are users and players.

"

“BLIND”

WHY ARE PEOPLE SO BLIND?

THEY CHEAT THEMSELVES ALL THE TIME.

NEVER SEE WHAT’S BEFORE THEIR EYES;

SPIN THEIR WHEELS, SEEKING BETTER ALL THEIR LIVES.

DON’T KNOW THEY ARE BLESSED FROM THE START

SO THEY GO ON CHANGING PLANS, BREAKING HEARTS.

 HAD A MAN WHO WANTED ME SO,

ONLY ‘TIL HE GOT ME THOUGH.

HE COULDN’T JUST END IT AND LEAVE�"

TRIED TO CRUSH WHAT WAS LEFT OF ME.

WE BROKE UP BACK IN ‘82

HE MOVED BACK IN WITH SIS;

DRANK MORE THAN 20 YEARS AWAY;

STILL LIVES WITH SIS TO THIS DAY.

 THE NEXT ONE CAME PRETENDING LOVE;

JUST CAME TO HIDE AND USE ME UP.

HE WAS ONLY LOOKING FOR A MOTHER

WHEN I LOOKED TO HIM AS A LOVER.

LEFT HIM BACK IN ’89,

HE THOUGHT I’D COME BACK CRYIN’

WAITED 13 YEARS FOR ME TO CHANGE

THEN MARRIED ANOTHER WITH THE SAME FIRST NAME.

 THEN CAME ONE GOOD AT LIES;

HAD OTHER WOMEN ON THE SIDE.

FINALLY CAUGHT HIM CHEATING THOUGH�"

ONLY THEN WAS I ABLE TO LET HIM GO.

E-MAILED ME ‘BOUT 10 YEARS LATER-

SAID HIS WIFE LEFT HIM BUT HE DIDN’T HATE HER.

SAID HER FRIENDS STEERED HER WRONG�"

THAT HE WAS A GOOD MAN ALL ALONG.
