Eyes Open, Eyes Mistaken Poem by John Sensele

Eyes wide open, reason forsaken
I chose the bride
I thought unbroken
All because I spewed my pride.

Eyes wide open, decision taken
I chose against advice to go ahead
I ignored words of wisdom spoken
All because mad blood went to my head.

Eyes wide open, personality mistaken
I chose to hope against hope
I opted for options forsaken
All because I relied on a ribald rope.

Eyes wide open, events in Eden
I chose my partner to blame
I opted for solace from a maiden
All because my power her name put to shame.
