BLINDED
I was too busy filling the need I had;
It dragged my fears along this path.
So lost was I to see the truth;
So closed to me and blinded by you.
So many times you showed your truth
Of righteous facts that stuck like glue,
But still, I had such faith in you;
My light, it blinded me to you.
So caught up in my need for growth,
I saw each hurt; each bitter poke,
As signs to guide me to your truth.
My hope, alas, was blinded too.
The way you spoke of other's ways;
The way you grumbled through your days;
Chasing wants in many ways;
Blinded was I, all our days.
But as I sat there in accepting,
The universe came interjecting;
Transfered the thought behind the truth;
In truth, you made me lie to you.
With expectations set so high,
And demands of all, and me, so tight;
Paraded here to build a world,
Where you could validate your worth.
I had to lie to keep my truth;
For peace is how I stemmed my blue;
But in this truth, I too was blind.
The words you said were so unkind.
So now you've gone to find your life;
Another lover, maybe wife;
Another soul to "yes" to you;
A dreamer to imagine you.
For only us can take the strain,
And use our mind to forget pain.
Only us would hold you close;
Imagination is our host.
Yet this you knew and why you came,
You saw this light; this needing flame;
A dreamer that will play your game;
So loving that she does not blame.
So blinded by you...or were you blinded my me?
The more I grow the more I see,
How you made my fantasy
Become in mind, not reality.
You made me find my way to dream,
And create an inner guiding peace.
Forced to forge a future grace
To keep my sacred peaceful place.
Blinded you were to my need for you,
To guide me to my inner truth.
You left because the job was done;
The blindfold off; the battle won.
But once I found the light within
No longer did I need your skin.
Blinded of the game you played,
I see each move as all pre laid.
The pokers of the ones with truth,
Are here to find the light in you.
You were never blinded, as you hold truth;
The mission was them to be blinded by you.
