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 ~

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.

True, Jan. Or, they twist the truth to suit their misguided judgement of others. That's deceptive in its own right.

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:)

And more is the pity that we allow our hearts to blind our eyes. Thank you, Daniel.

The rhyming here is superb, Lin. I like the way you wrote this piece. It flows well and carries the theme to the end.

Sad but true, Jo. Hearts are treacherous enough to blind us to what is evident before our eyes. Thanks for coming by ;-)
