The Heart-Shaped Glasses

I bought them today.
Gold frames, yellow lenses .

I had one of these as a child.
Red, plastic, heart-shaped glasses,
which made me love men too early.

I wore them everywhere.
Blindfolded, under the spell, so lovable.

I always thought that they had got lost.
Now I realized I have never taken them off.

It is time to see the sun again.
