Oblivious

Folder: 
2008

Poems of love

Scattered thoughts and unkept plans

Plastic smiles

and Cheshire grins

Imitations

No I don’t blame you

for being oblivious

for not knowing me

the way you thought you did

in love with the image

in love with the idea

I know I was too

No it’s not your fault

we were oblivious

Notes in blood

Shattered thoughts and broken plans

Counterfeit smiles

and a love that was pretend

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Sometimes you are more in love with the image or the idea of being in love with this person that you neglect to actually get to know who they really are. Then a day comes when you realize how incompatible you truly are.
