Blind sight

Blind by affection, I didn\'t see

The strings attached, the manipulation\'s spree

You showered me with words, a gentle rain

But beneath the surface, a toxic game

 

Your love was a storm, intense and wild

Leaving me breathless, yet feeling beguiled

I didn\'t know the signs, the red flags high

I thought it was love, but it was a disguise

 

You wove a web of flattery and praise

I got caught up, in the whirlwind\'s daze

But now I see, the truth unveiled

A pattern of control, a love that\'s failed

 

I\'m learning to heal, to break the chains

To recognize the signs, the love bombing games

I\'ll rise above, with a heart that\'s wise

And find true love, with open eyes
