Words, broken with tears to mend

blind, silly, and naive

i used to be so dependent on you

needing you within reach

what is that called

when your eyes are wide open

but your hearts so very blind

before you i was strong

being with you I called it love

after you i became stronger

is it a weakness that blinds all our

senses and puts reason to shame

is it our hearts that take all control

of what"s right and wrong was it

just my heart that i saw you with

was that why i've been so

blind, silly, and naive

letting myself believe that

you actually did care

i believed that you did

really love me

but my reason was shutout

by the heavy beating of my

heart every time we were close

every time i laid my blind eyes

on you every time your words

hurt more then your fist
