"Blinded"

I was blinded,

by the sheer beauty of it.

The thought of it,

the need for it.



It seemed so perfect,

so unreal.

It was a fairytale,

a thought of happiness.



But I was blinded,

by the "perfection."

The flawness manican,

of a lovers dream.



I was in denial,

of what truly was.

I didn't want to admit,

to its evident imperfections.



I was in a shadow,

never wanting to escape.

Why live in a world of truth,

when I can have happiness? a dream?



I didn't want to see,

the true being that lived.

My eyes were closed to my fairytale dream,

and opened to a nightmare.



I lay in disbelief,

of this realization.

Yet in the back of my mind,

I am still blinded.
