From The Corner Of My Eye Revised

From the corner of my eye,you seem to love me so
But when I stare straight ahead, its her that makes you glow
From the corner of my eye, your kiss is oh so real
When I stare straight ahead, its for another one to feel
From the corner of my eye, you smile down at me
When I stare straight ahead, its for another one to see
From the corner of my eye, you whisper your promise in my ear
When  I stare straight ahead,its for another one to hear
From the corner of my eye,we dance beneath the stars
You hold me close and tell me the future will be ours
But when I stare straight ahead, you do not even look my way
It is for another to hear all the wonderful things you have to say
I can not face reality, no matter how I Try 
So I will live the rest of my life, from the corner of my eye

Dear Elizabeth

Periferal vision ... not sure of the spelling of that and I am lazy tonight lol you get what I mean ... I loved this look out of the corner of your eye ... and its good I feel a little change in your writing and its exciting ... I really liked this one good work huni ... only one thing second last line you need a space between 'itry' ? but really thought this was a good step away from what you normally write and change is good trust me I change like the wind lol (hugs) and love Jayne x x

I am very drawn to the melancholy tone of this poem. It goes to show that life just isn't perfect and sometimes we either have to make compromises or ignore certain situations, for our own peace of mind. Love it! Always, Cat

Dear Elizabeth

Reminds me of when were driving and I catch the old man looking out the window at another and denying it, lol, This is a very good write and the sad thing is, it happens. We always turn a blind eye. I felt sad reading this. Love to you and yours. All the best, Lyz. XX
