Life's Lonely Road (A Poetry Collection)

Too Blind To See

All the things in life
I thought mattered to me
Left me blind
Too blind to see

I cared to much
Of what others thought
And didn't pay attention
To what I had got

What I had was
Much more so it seems
I had the woman
Of my dreams

Her beauty was
Beyond compare
Yet I'd get angry
When others dared to stare

She did for me everything
That I ever did ask
But I took it far granite
Every single task

She had my back
And stood by my side
But I wasn't there
When she needed to confide

She was ever on the brink
She was ready to crack
Shed lost her kids
And she wanted them back

I knew she was hurting
Down deep inside
And I did nothing to help her
To that I abide

I made many a promise
That I failed to keep
I failed both her and myself
Now I sit here and weep

She hid something from me
But told me the same
I lifted my hand
And to her passed the blame

From that point on
Things weren't the same
And I now know
I have only my pride to blame

Yet still she stayed
And with me moved away
With out a dollar
Or a home in which to stay

Yet still we fought
Neither could let that day go
I truly did love her
But that I'd failed show

I promised to change
To show a different side of me
But the side I showed
Was a monster set free

I lifted my hand
Until I'd beat her into submission
Now I'm left all alone
Her pressence I'm missing

I pray for the chance
To make it right
To earn back her love
If it's possible I might

It's nights like this
When I lay and cry
I know what I've lost
And I'd just as soon die

But when the lights turned out
It's then that I sit and I pray
I ask God to help her forgive me
And send here back to me some day!
