I realize now...

It's a poem about what love can do to someone, what it can make them feel. I wrote it myself.


I realize now I did not know,
The horrible way love can go,
I thought the path I chose to follow,
Was the one that wouldn't lead to wallow,
I got so caught up in hoping,
I didn't see the moping.
His eyes fooled me into thinking,
There wasn't a neccesity for blinking,
I didn't stop to think,
What could possibly link.
Instead of seeing what was there,
I saw only what I could bare.
So the truth that was sitting there,
Ended up beneath the glare.
I thought I knew what would come,
Of my wishful thinking without blinking.
But I realize now that I was dumb,
And now I can't help but be glum.
I could have prevented so much pain,
If only I could do it again.
I realize now my mistake,
I think I will fix it with some cake,
Because what can you do
When you can't even sue?
I realize love is only the start,
Of the path that leads to a broken heart.
I realize now pain is all that comes,
From the one you thought you loved.
I realize now I did not know.
