LOVE IS BLIND

You say you never loved me
I've got all the proof right here
Photographs and letters
These things should make it very clear
Now you try to tell me
Your love was just my state of mind
No one knows if love is real
Because love itself is blind

CHORUS
Love is blind, love can't see
The pain your words are causing me
If I admit your words are true
Then you and I are really through
But, love is blind and it can't see

If your love was just my fantasy
And I believe the things you say
I can't forget the times we had
I won't let them slip away
If my imagination was to blame
What I feel for you is real
Give me time to sort it out
Give my heart the time to heal

CHORUS
Love is blind, love can't see
The pain your words are causing me
If I admit your words are true
Then you and I are really through
But, love is blind and love can't see

Now I need to stop and let it go
Hope the pain will go away
I feel like such a broken hearted fool
What if the pain is here to stay
If you should come back to me
And find your love for me was real
You tried so hard to prove me wrong
Love may not be the thing I feel

You say you never loved me
That's a lie
You say you never loved me
That's a lie
You say you never loved me
That's a lie

This one could be worked into a poem, too. It has another level beyond the emotion of the broken heart. Have you ever tried any poetry forms. This would make an interesting sestina or villanelle, if you wanted to give yourself a challenge. (I don't know them well enough to explain their forms--but I am sure you could find descriptions online.) There have been a couple sestinas (titled sestina) in the poetry forum lately.

I really like this one (almost as much as Dragons).

Until I peeked into the poetry section, I had know idea how many forms there are. I will look into Sestina and Villanelle style of poetry and see if I can wrap my mind around them. Thank you for the suggestion. Am glad you liked this one.
