Optical Illusion

We all have been in a relationship that was just full of lies and pain. I know I had my share. This poem came from a realization that I got myself into something that was not healthy for me. You can't change anyone. As much as you try and as much as you want to, if someone is hurting, has been hurt or is steal dealing with pain, until they are 100% healed within, they will never learn how to love. Love yourself enough to know the difference. Sometimes beauty that oozes from the outside is toxic within.

Optical Illusion

 

Consideration, appreciation, attention, affection, and sentimental pleasures over pain any day..
Whatever you do just take the pain away.
Lead me to believe what I was seeing is you.

What I was hearing were lines already used.
What you were revealing were open wounds.
An optical illusion

I have learned that love recycled you can't use.
Opened wounds can't be bruised.
A fatally beating heart can't produce.
The traps I've placed captures moments I've erased.
Optical illusion

True love does not snooze
Don't lose something good for something used.
Don't leave something bad for something worse.
Don't ask me to make you see what's not there.

Don't lose the hand that lifts you up for a hand that let's you fall.
Don't cry for something cursed.
When the devil hears he works.
Don't give what's expected. Hold on to your worth.
Optical illusion

The truth hurts.
What you don't work hard for is not yours.
A cold heart is preserving a broken heart. That can and will beat again.
Tiny drops of love will make that happen.
But all you see is you and your not even invited in.
Can't make the heart beat with diluted heat.
Your pain and misery...they can't teach me.
Your Type of love I can't fight.
This crazy cycle has lost life.
It's time the storm passes by or you'll be left hearing good-bye.
Optical illusion

I know no defection in the tragic reflection of a cold hearted believer.
I know no hate or fear
For where there is true love these things do not appear.
And that's why I requested you stay right here.
When the storm passes by so do the tears I have cried.
When you awake to realize the memories of this life are stripped out of your mind.
Reflect to the manual of a "Cold hearted wife"
