Blind

Let’s stare unblinkingly at startling visions of beauty too grandiose to comprehend. Let’s look deep into each other’s souls and observe truths, and not pretend. Let’s turn our gazes skyward, aspire to be limitless, unerr’d by the SUN. Let’s envision what was, what is, what might be and what is yet to become. I once looked into the bottom of your heart, saw love, and thought it a beautiful place. I observed it once again and found only the pitch darkness of an abyss and the unloving cold of outer space. ‘Tis a horrible thing when honest eyes hear nothing but lies. How horrible is a knowledge of seeing when it benefits not the eyes… I look at you and sometimes I see love, sometimes I see pieces, sometimes I see unforgiving cold But worst of all, sometimes I see nothing at all and am blind!
