My heart he needs four eyes instead of two

A bad case of myopia, is why I loved you.

–

Things you said and did, led me one way 

While the true intentions were astray.

–

All the while, did my best to cope 

Wishing for kindness, my ultimate hope.

–

Hopes are great unless unfulfilled 

And ultimately, my love was killed.

–

Even sporting glasses my heart closed off 

Further and further facing scoff.

–

In front of the kids, private conversations 

Subjected to endless emasculations.

–

I thought you were sweet and such a honey 

In the end all me you loved was my money.

–

Cold hearted ridicule

Everyday I was a fool.

–

The worst temper with a hair trigger

No matter what was said, her anger got bigger.

–

In the end all things ran their course

As my nearsighted heart and I got a divorce.
