Tunnel Vision

All I see is the truth

You joke that I have tunnel vision.

And truly, I think you are right.

Say I’ve closed my eyes to love,

that I only feel spite.

But all I can feel,

and all I see

is what’s in

front of

me.

    This has been interestingly put together. 'Tunnel vision' was often used on me by an ex too.

    So good. I think it’s so easy for relationships to slide into this…. So well written.

    Could not agree more. We speak truth by what we see and hear. Hypocrites only see and hear what they want to. Well said Cathy.
