Love Is Blind

Love is blind and I was blinded
Completely totally utterly dumbfounded
Mystified stupefied astonished astounded
My heart devoted to you
Love is toxic and I was intoxicated
Exceedingly intensely excessively elated
Infatuated besotted smitten fixated
My heart entrusted to you

Searching my soul for what I couldn’t find
My feelings dictated my rational mind
Ignoring that the words you spoke were unkind
But you were just as self-doubting as me
Constant contradictions that I found confusing
Love and praise you kept intolerably refusing
Yourself and each other we were always excusing
Now I wonder why I couldn’t see

Love is light and I was enlightened
Needily reliably reassuringly brightened
Dependent indulged released untightened
My heart bestowed to you
Love is warm and I was warmed
Unaware ignorant obliviously scorned
Disrespected rejected discouraged unformed
My heart committed to you


Love is complete and I was completed
Caringly compassionately dutifully treated
Content relaxed submissive defeated
My heart surrendered to you
Love is lovely and I was loved
Tolerated endured forgivingly begrudged
Abandoned dismissed resented shoved
My heart compelled to you

I gave you my heart and trusted in you
With rainbow lensed glasses I couldn’t see through
I believed every word that you said to be true
Failing myself and failing each other
I lost my true self in a depressive haze
I couldn’t see why you wanted to unite our days
I pushed you away with my negative ways
And now your heart belongs to another

Love is unravelling and I was unravelled
Terribly becoming extremely dishevelled
Criticised reproached suppressed reviled
My heart discarded by you
Love is lost and I was losing
Fading declining internally abusing
Diminished revived progressing improving
My heart no longer for you
