THEY fell

SHE FELL

for an angel with a demon,

for a genius with no brain,

for a boyfriend with no heart and

for a heart that's gone insane.

for a teen who's still a child,

for medicine that brings pain,

for a person she never met and

for a love she won't obtain.

SHE SAW HIM

as a man that was a genius,

as a boy more than a friend,

as a husband who would love, and

as a love without an end.

as a pair of hands to hold her,

as a heart that she could mend,

as a warmth that she could feel, and

as a dead man she'd defend.

SHE LEFT HIM

as a suicidal dead man

who would quickly turn to meth,

as a roadblock in the way, he

was a man that soon knew death.

SHE SAW HIM

for the last time at his funeral,

where she soon began to see.

that the man who she was missing

was in a cage; she held the key.

How profound and true this poem is. The euphoric rush of being in a new relationship which is fed by desire can blind you to unpalatable truths about a person until it is too late. All that is left in the end is the death and destruction of your hopes and dreams in the wasteland of disillusionment. Thank you for sharing!

Blind love is seeing with no foresight, the mind shuts down and the heart works crazy! Thank you for this fine read, it was so lovely and interesting.
