Long ago, Shakespeare said: “Love is blind” A phrase, so misread, that seems kind. If not, Then tell me why: All this cases come a long, Of ripped hearts that can’t just get Why their lover, Simply left. No, you are not blind When you choose, At least then Your eyes are still of use. It is throughout love’s process That your sight fails to see All the little details where your partner Started to flee. Everyone has a lie That they’d wished came true When blindness takes us by, We stick to it, like glue. The game is old: We play a long, When we are aged And when we are young. So when this break up comes as a shock: Just stop Find the bandage, Take it off. And gently, rewind I promise you’ll find What really means to say: “That love is blind”

What really means to say love is blind
Long ago, Shakespeare said: “Love is blind” A phrase, so misread, that seems kind. If not, Then tell me why: All this cases come a long, Of ripped hearts that can’t just get Why their lover, Simply left. No, you are not blind When you choose, At least then Your eyes are still of use. It is throughout love’s process That your sight fails to see All the little details where your partner Started to flee. Everyone has a lie That they’d wished came true When blindness takes us by, We stick to it, like glue. The game is old: We play a long, When we are aged And when we are young. So when this break up comes as a shock: Just stop Find the bandage, Take it off. And gently, rewind I promise you’ll find What really means to say: “That love is blind”
