I have chosen to be blinded by you

To color my perceptions with a will of want

A will of wish, A will of neglect

I dare not see who you really are

It will scare me to see you in reality

You who own my heart

You wrestle my insanity

You waste my insecurity

Embrace my ineptitude

You challenge my perceptions

I don’t want to see you in the brilliance of sunlight

I prefer to walk with you in shadow

If I see you then you will see me

My naked shame would be too much

reflected in your eyes

So I choose to remain blindfolded

Lost in lies we tell each other
