Best Foot Backward

Except for the simple task Of seeing one foot put before the next You seem blind As you stumble through this journey... Called a romantic relationship Your outlook is the problem... Only looking out, And never within - Skews your perspective with cynicism Without introspection You will never see The emotional and spiritual contribution You are not investing Only what appears to be lacking Based on standards Determined by your imagination Or the outward appearances Other couples present... That you covet You will never be happy As you continue to pursue The ideal romance according to Oprah That she herself has never experienced You see way too much fault in your mate And you're way too blind To the too little you reciprocate Better get real before it's too late Have an honest heart-to-heart... With your friend in the mirror. Copyright 2016 Regi Taylor All Rights Reserved
