they say love is blind
so should i ignore the bruise
that formed when your fingers
dug too deep in my skin
should i ignore the scars
that form whenever you're too angry
should i forget about the cuts
in my heart that form
every time you spit curses at me
after all, love is blind
isn't it

you tell her you love her. then you shout at her. you make her weep. you hit her. you threaten her. then you go to her and tell her you're sorry. that it won't happen again. she believes you even though both of you know that it will happen again. you tell her you love her. then you shout at her.

you fucking fool.
