I used to scintillate in his presence
His words were smooth, wafting in my ears
I was captivated by the mystery in his ways
I was barely reluctant to be his
Until I was, or now that I am
The love he gave became lethal
Or at least the pretense existing
Of the untrue love that he portrayed…
I moved slowly to learn him, never fast
He fooled my heart, soul, and mind
In early moments, I saw myself as his lily
Later, I was just the bologna sandwich
One that he did not want or need to love
It was never real, fake affection
He knew not how to love
I lost the comfort of his words and ways
The glitter of his essence became faded
I opened my eyes.
I saw him.

honey moon was over
and ye were no longer in clover
open eyes
aye to no
and so
off you went
bent not broken
and a token
of things never exchanged or even spoken!~

Oh yes, that moment when we open our eyes and actually SEE them. Not always good.

I’m glad I left the relationship that had more than died and I admitted my life was no longer in that place.

It’s crazy because normally I hate being single, but I am thinking I am better off for now. I get red flags easily from the one that I want to be with. There’s someone out there for me. I just wish he would find me.

Sometimes we look so hard for what we want, we misread things, get blinkered, and find what we’ve settled for is not what we wanted at all.
