Blinded

Blinded
Through out the past
and many hurdles,
I've been blinded.
Blinded not to the case where I could not see
but instead
blinded to what was right in front of me
Through many relationships
I've been used or abused.
One I was like a father to her daughter.
She was 2
taught her to walk and talk
till she called me daddy
Then left me
for someone I once called a buddy.
I was blind
Another I was a taxi,
used for my car,
she took it out all night
while I sat there worried,
She crashed it.
it was gone, so was she.
I was blind
I thought I had something special with another
we were like peas in a pod,
I watched her kids,
I took them all over, to B.C and back,
then found out it was nothing like that.
I was blind.
Each one was like having a drink,
and after each one,
my sight became more cloudy.
One, after another,
The worse it became.
Was blind to see what was so bad,
Was blinded by my Drunken past,
Was blinded from true love.,
Was blinded from the best in life,
From the person that loved me with all that she had.
She Loved when I was empty,
loved when I was lost,
loved when I didn't know how to live
and Loved when I had nothing but my own love to give.
I was too blind to see, what I had right in front of me.
Each relationship I've been in, represents another glass.
so many that I could not see..
As I remove each glass one by one,
I can see what I have done.
My sight still adjusting day by day
I'm starting to see clearly in every way
Things I have done from having no sight
To the things I need To prepare for this fight
I couldn't see I didn't see all the good you were to me.
For I was blind with these past lies.
Each one left a film apon my eyes.
So put away those glasses
don't lay them out in front.
Start to see the bigger picture
Of what you already hold.
For if u stay blind to the things in the past,
You will stay blinded to the things that are meant to last.
