Blind Sight in Hindsight

 

So many words that I could say

But for some reason I hesitate

Stubble across the floor

Choke on my words

Can’t look you in the eye

Is it even right this time?

 

Have I been so blind to see

Just what has been laid out right in front of me?

It’s like the wind is crawling on my back

Pushing me forward, never to look back

Could it all be so easy this time?

It feels too right, it must be wrong

I’ve been too blind to see

You standing there in front of me

 

We’ve tried this all before last year

Didn’t feel the spark ever too clear

Could it be that I’m making another mistake?

Should I take my pride and walk away?

Before it’s too late, before we waste time?

Pretending that I am yours and you are mine

 

Have I been so blind to see

Just what has been laid out right in front of me?

It’s like the wind is crawling on my back

Pushing me forward, never to look back

Could it all be so easy this time?

It feels too right, it must be wrong

I’ve been too blind to see

You standing there in front of me

 

I’ll be damned if I do it again

Watch me push away yet another one

In hindsight I didn’t see this coming

But I can deny I don’t like the thrill of it all

 

Have I been so blind to see

Just what has been laid out right in front of me?

It’s like the wind is crawling on my back

Pushing me forward, never to look back

Could it all be so easy this time?

It feels too right, it must be wrong

I’ve been too blind to see

You standing there in front of me

 

So hold me close, and hold me dear

Don’t ever let me go

You’ll have to put up a fight

But I promise if you can

It’ll all be worth it in the end

I’ve been too blind, so help me see

A nice poem. I like the ending the most...:)
