! A Blind Eye Poem by Linda Ori
! A Blind Eye
I should have seen the signs -
Your need to control all things
Your ego running rampant
You're such an important figure
At least in your own mind;
I thought that I could change you -
Silly me!
Patterns ingrained from long ago
Can only be changed if you desire
What I want is not an option;
You say it's not important
We can rise above these things
The words come easily from your lips
Yet still your body betrays you
And I am under your spell;
No more! Time erases tenderness
Given with a willing heart
Accepted by a greedy lover
Then discarded without a care -
Passion wasted;
Another conquest on your list
How easily they come to you
Brave hearts about to be broken
Still they take the chance
And suffer their demise;
And you remain unscathed
Your ego takes it all in stride
Such petty complications
Yet one day they will take you down
And maybe I will smile;
I should have seen the signs.

Yet one day they will take you down......... Truth of life it goes on........very nicely expressed in a poetic way
Your poem truly states the underlying emotion. Not in the words but as an undercurrent running through them. Well done
Aisle Altar Hymn the wedding ceremony does not always fortell happiness
Another conquest on his list, because of love, the sign's were missed! *10*! ! Best wishes Linda! Splendid read! ! Friend Thad
Well, this is the classic story repeated over and over again. A woman marries a man believing she can change him. I don't think I've ever heard a man say he married a woman expecting her to change. In fact, the woman sometimes does change. Leaving the man, married to a stranger. You constructed it well and wrote with clarity. Can't expect anything more. GW62

I guess it's hard to leave it to Karma, to repay those who ride roughshod across the trail of broken hearts?
