Blind To Fate

awoke that morning
didn't know
I'd lose it all
denial wrapped me tight
blinded by the darkness
        of deceit
twisted in loves name
she used it in vain
that evening
just before 
I closed that old bar
and went to my fate
her voice so sweet
breaking me down
shattering my illusion
she speaks words
I don't want to hear
I take my broken thoughts
put on my shoes 
made of hurt
walked to bayou
added my tears
to its depths
blind to my fate
          no more
