The Blindside of Expectations

A.M. Morgan
The imagination runs wild while the truth stands still.

It's as clear as the day nothing could be more real.

No need to analyze for it's easy to relate to how honesty feels.

Being judgmental leaves nothing more for understanding to reveal.

The transparent person was always present but high expectations allowed their true nature to appear concealed.

This is the day a verdict of disappointment to the heart's jury is sealed.

Although it was not anticipated a deck of cards seems to have named a joker and fool in love.

However, the lesson for you is actions can deceive and words can mislead you.

But the eyes of both participants in this exchange always spoke freely.

The fact of the matter is,

The next time you meet someone take it easy and choose your expectations wisely.
