Call Me Blind Poem by Allysyn Bryant

They should call me blind.

I loved him with all my heart and more.
Gave him my trust. Everything that I had.
I was so sure that he felt the same.
‘Til the day that I got the pic in the mail then I knew.
It was all a lie.
There she was pretty as can be.
Holding on to the one I loved.
My best friend with my boyfriend.
Just call me blind.

Driving down the road with windows open
Sun Shining. Wind Blowing. Singing to the radio.
All’s good so I thought.
Park in the drive and finally see.
Father’s taken his flee. He promised forever.
But forever came to an end as I sit to console mother.
Shoulda seen it coming.
Call us blind.

Empty house. Silent as a mouse.
Here I stand unable to understand.
Tried everything that I could think of that was right.
To keep everything nice and tight.
Yet here I am as empty as can be.
I thought that everything was set and stone
Little did I know how easily I could be left alone.
All I cherish taken away by a simple mistake.
Guess you can call me blind.
