Seduced by the View

When I think of what came between me and you

Was it that you felt you had nothing to cling to?

Was it too easy to reach for a partner so brand new?

If you’d looked in the mirror you might’ve seen what was true,

Maybe after he had soon left that should’ve given you a clue

Or was it just because I was that foolish too?

Perhaps fools like me never take their cue

Do any of us ever get our just due?

I’m a long way from a home I trusted and knew

I succumbed to the illusion seduced by the view

For who so ever survives love? Likely only a few

Now my trust and my instincts are all askew,

There’s the stench of a corpse in the air

Who said whatever happens in love and war is fair?

Didn’t anyone in your life ever teach you to care?

Is there any sympathy that anyone could share?

My days are numbered with no time to spare

More alone now than I ever would have dared

Loneliness is a trap and I’ve been ensnared

Defeated at the moment my soul was bared,

The ghost of marriages that crashed and burned

Vaporizing the passion for togetherness once yearned

You were once her lover and you have been spurned

It was a picnic at first until the weather took a terrible turn.

Comment by James Roberts on November 3, 2019 at 4:51pm: Doc - You're welcome. The last three women I dated kept three or four loser guys in their orbit, perpetually. For money, gifts and work around the house if they needed it. That's a thing now, a model (some) women use to maximize their profit, without ever committing to a relationship with anyone. They were all offended and disbelieving when I told them no more dates. One called the cops on me several times, to get revenge for my breaking it off. It's discouraging. But I'll find one that appreciates being treated well, in every way, and that treats me well in return. I have a friend, my employer, who is making a project out of socializing me.

Comment by Doc Vega on November 3, 2019 at 3:02pm: James thanks for your reply. I've been married 3 times and as you said to women who were victimized when they were vulnerable long before they met me and they simply perpetuated the circle of victimization without even realizing it. Yes, it is wasted time and life not to move on.

Comment by James Roberts on November 1, 2019 at 5:30pm: Or, to be more succinct, fuck that bitch. lol.

Comment by James Roberts on November 1, 2019 at 5:29pm: I don't think love is an illusion. Eventually, I had to come to the conclusion that, yeah, my ex had problems due to things that were done to her when she was vulnerable, but none of that justified what she did to me as an adult. One can't carry a torch for the remainder of one's life. It is a terrible waste of time. You could be out there having fun with someone, fulfilling each others' lives, so happy.
