Enamored by the Façade

 
Maybe it was the inexperience of youth
That sometimes clouded my judgement
When I was enamored by the façade of what’s on the outside
I seemed to lack prudence and discernment

Yes it was love without a solid foundation
Lust sometimes tends heighten emotions without perception
And as the years passed I felt a disconnection
Unable to see the truth I too fell into a deception

But I wouldn’t listen to my intuition
I didn’t see what others saw for the sake of my enormous pride
And by the time I saw it I was too far in
Then I had self-loathe for taking on that ride

Sometimes hope clouds observation
Expecting people to change created a false sense of reality
I made choices that altered everything
Later understanding
     some things are just not meant to be
