Love is blind.
Or so they say.
Is love blind
To what really matters?
Can’t love see what is good?
I thought love was honest.
But no,
Love lies like the rest.
Love cannot see what is good.
Love is so blind.


The author's comments:
Sometimes loving someone makes you blind to what is the truth, what is good. I see too many people fall for the wrong person, and love them without seeing what's true.

I love how short this is but it says a lot. Also, you totally contradicted yourself in the first few lines and the last few lines, but somehow it works. I really like this...especially the line "I thought love was honest" this poem has such an earnest tone to it. Great job!
