Though I give you credit, where credit is due, but I do not hang on every word you say.

I cannot rely on the air of illusions,
every time you cross my mind,
I wonder when the facts backfire their proof,
to find out your not telling me the truth.

One day is cloud nine, the next is rock bottom, and I'm still the observant fool I always was,
with a listening ear and a few words of reciprocation.

I suppose a good heart always deceives itself.

" a good heart always deceives itself "
It's like blind optimism.
Indeed true

You know, I really liked this, very different in its own way, with a rhyming stanza in middle, but non rhyming lines before and after, I like the style and it has so much meaning! Thanks for sharing!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
