Blind To Deception

Her eyes are blind to all his lies,
excuses and false alibis
The woman cuddles, silently
beside her lover, brazenly
until dawn welcomes the sunrise.

She cannot see behind his guise,
the charade she'll come to despise.
Defending him, defiantly.
Her eyes are blind ~

One day it will be no surprise,
when the veil will fall from her eyes
but until that day, quietly
she lives unaware, piously
on knees, a slave never to rise.
Her eyes are blind ~

Chris Green Date: 7/10/2017 4:20:00 PM I think in most cases, male or female...they know, they just choose to ignore, it is easier that way. Blinded by love or the safety of what they are used to. Nicely done Lin. Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 7/10/2017 4:23:00 PM Thank you.

Jan Allison Date: 7/10/2017 1:54:00 PM There can be so much deception in our lives lin such a pity when a person is so in denial they cannot see the truth:-( hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 7/10/2017 1:58:00 PM True, Jan. Or, they twist the truth to suit their misguided judgement of others. That's deceptive in its own right.

Daniel Turner Date: 7/10/2017 9:57:00 AM We all see what we want to see. When it comes to a lover, well, it's not a matter of seeing as much as it is believing what we see. No one wants to believe they are being deceived by a lover. Another fine write, Lin:) Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 7/10/2017 10:06:00 AM And more is the pity that we allow our hearts to blind our eyes. Thank you, Daniel.

Joanna Daniel Date: 7/10/2017 9:32:00 AM So true many a time, Lin, though hope it were not so:) great rondeau:) Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 7/10/2017 10:08:00 AM Sad but true, Jo. Hearts are treacherous enough to blind us to what is evident before our eyes. Thanks for coming by ;-)
