I couldn't see
I simply couldn't believe
And my pride wouldn't let me

I really can't be angry
I had been warned
But I just couldn't see

I'm glad to be free
I should have ended it sooner
But my pride wouldn't let me

I let my eyes lead me
I'm paying the price now
Because I really couldn't see

I couldn't see that you were this beast
I should've let go
But my pride wouldn't let me

So now I'm shocked; Appalled
And wondering why I even cared at all
But I simply couldn't' see
And my pride wouldn't' let me


The author's comments:
I wrote this after my first real relationship ended. Even though I wrote this to give myself some sort of closure we were back at it again in a couple of weeks. Now we're really over and when I look back I see that now more than ever is this poem true.
