Love is Blind

Searching and dreaming for a better life has left me empty in this one.
If I stop to think for any length of time, I drift into regret, and what if’s.
Second -guessing, always over thinking. If only I had done this or that….
If only he had loved me back.

Running away from myself was the only solution in my short sight.
But no matter how far I go, I end up right back where I start –
Staring at my faceless image in the mirror of my mind.
Wondering what would happen if he hadn’t made me blind.

The one thing I do see, ever so clearly, is that he is happy. 
She has made him happy and for that I can never forgive her.
Never forgive myself, really, for not accepting the plain fact.
There was never anything I could have done to get him back

I ran away from everything I knew chasing a boy, a dream of a boy.
I always promised myself I’d never be the dumb one, 
Never put my fate on someone else’s shoulders, no matter how strong.
Now I sit gazing at the stars knowing what went wrong.

I wonder if there’s time for me to get myself back on track.
Will there ever be a strength so brave to wipe him out of my heart.
And if that happens, how sad will that make me, how much worse can it get?
I have to find a way to live forward, but not regret…

Hi Debbie,

Too much him, not enough you.  Dig deep and expunge your love for him.  Find the magic formula to make it "like".  Don't let his "new" love destroy the "old you".  Reach out again with a clean slate.  Love will find you.  Just allow your eyes to be clear and wide open when it does!  A penetrating, heartfelt tale, so well written, from which we're going to expect a "happy" sequel!

Peace and love,

xox Larry

Hello Debbie...

Sometimes people are in our lives for a season...

Even though there's pain there's always something we need to gain from every experience good or bad...

I am sorry you are in the healing process...

It can hurt alot...

Sometimes,  people have to leave for whatever reason so that something else better can come in...

Waiting is the next hardest part...

We want it right now...

But, better things we find is usually when we don't expect it and...

It's nice to think that...

Something that is really great is well worth the wait...

This soul giving write you have shared...

I pray that you can find peace and maybe someone else will read this and they're going through something similar and...

You can form a special friendship and help each other through the heartaches...

Great write! 

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...
