Gwen Benita Mason Gibbs Poet Rhyme

At First Glance

At first glance I thought I had a chance

thought what we had was true romance

until you gave me the old song and dance

but at least you gave me notice in advance



I was mesmerized by your flair and style

my head was in a whirlwind for a little while

up on cloud nine is where I once landed

until you brought me down and left me empty handed



My feet didn't touch the ground whenever you were around

I'd look deep into your eyes but couldn't make a sound

no words could express the love that I thought I had found

when the whole time I never knew that I was being clowned



At first glance it looked so much different to me

but at last now my eyes are open and have come to see

and I'm so thankful to you for setting me free

because you and I were never really meant to be.

Jan Allison February 19, 2015 at 5:19 PM So easy to be taken in by fancy words and a handsome face - and then reality hits and you realise it simply isn't meant to be - great write:-) Hugs Jan xx Gwen Benita Mason Gibbs February 22, 2015 at 8:58 AM Thanks Jan, appreciate it.
