Blind Eyes Could Not See

When she was so close to me
there were things that my
blind eyes could not see.

Now that she's far away,
I understand that she never
made that choice, to want
to be with me.

There was a time I
wanted her back,
only considering the
desires of my flesh,
but now I understand,
that to have her without
the blessing of her heart,
can only create a mess.

As a fellow poet said,
some want to be lonely
and free, or perhaps
as I now believe, some
want to be free
of attachments.

You've grown, my friend, since first I read you long ago...in your way with words and in your soul...

very good poem, i really like it.
i understand the idea of blind eyes, sometimes it just happens i suppose..
but, i guess it's on everyone's decision to start "Seeing" more things..and stop missing those important things..that if they are not seen..they may result very painful..
Very good Work.

Indeed, that is the way some people are.
