Excerpt
Eyes Wide Shut

Foolish of me for loving you
With my eyes wide shut
For misreading your emotions
And for needing you too much

Foolish of me for thinking
You could love me beyond your bed
For letting the sound of your voice
Be a distraction in my head

Foolish of me for trusting
The eyes that lied constantly
For not realizing sooner
That your one and only I’d never be

Foolish of me for believing
That my fairy tale had come true
For listening to the music
That seemed so out of tune.

Now I know my life will go on
And the pieces of my heart I’ll pick up
But foolish of me for loving you
With my eyes wide shut.
