THE GRAND ILLUSION

Love seems to render
you blind.
   You can't see the caution.
Signs.

   When you let loose,
You're zero to a hundred.
   When you're in love your
The prey that's hunted.

   You perceive it as peace,
It’s a war.
   If your heart survives,
It washes up on the shore.

   Love keeps you blind,
You don't see the scars.
   You believe it's that wish 
Upon a star.

   You are completely 
Unprepared.
   You're confused,
You should be scared.

   You see the most beautiful
Girl in the world.
   She is like Diamonds, Rubies
And Pearls.

   Love reminds us that we
Are human.
   Love is the Epic grand
Illusion.
