Love is Blind

[Aaron Graf]

Love is Blind




Love is blind, the saying is true,
Love is blinded to the one, who's heart is left broken.
Always given to the one, who's already received it.
"You'll find somebody...one of these days."
I hear that every time that I am not chosen.
While everybody I know, finds those of their dreams.
Only to see one day that dreams they were meant to stay.
Love is blind, to the person who never received...any in their life.
Love is blind...for those who had it from the start.
Let me whisper to you, young boys like me,
The stories they tell you, you're being deceived.
They tell you to be how you are, and that girl will come along.
The truth is that you'll be left alone,
Unless you know the way... to tie her blindfold.
Blind to the fact that you weren't meant to be,
The movies they make, the songs that they write,
To make you feel like the girl you fancy.....
will fancy you as well.
Oh the truth, the truth hidden from you.
It won't be found in romance novels,
or sappy love poems.
Or any myth regurgitated to you,
The one that held meaning, the only one they told
The one that love is blind.
Blind to the others who love her as well.
Blinded to the suffering that they feel inside,
Love was blinded,
Before it could see...
I was standing in front of it.
Waiting anxiously for it to acknowledge me.
It can't help that problem it was given...
Love is blind,
But only to me.

Author's Comments: This is a rejection poem as you can see. This is not a love poem at all. Right now as I type this I"m at school, trying to keep myself from exploding like a frag grenade. I've had this happen all the time and now once again so this I wrote as a way of releasing that frustration, knowing the truth.......that love isn't meant for me.

I was told to follow my heart. And it was torn in two. It was hard for me to do Aaron. *sighs* Awesome write

Hey buddy. Let me say something from a guy who knows a thing or two about rejections. I'm very sorry that you have to feel this way. There are very few feelings in this world that are worst than being rejected. Trust me, from all that I've heard... you're a great guy. You will not be single and alone forever. I'm not going to sit here and bombard you with a bunch of cliches. Because I know how angry cliches make me when I'm hurting inside. I just want you to know that your time is coming. You will meet somebody who will love you unconditionally and with all of her heart. I guess, the time just wasn't now. I remember all of the nights where I sat with my broken heart. There was a song that I played over and over again called "Someone Else's Star". In the song, he sings about how "I guess I must be wishing. On someone else's start. Seems like everyone keeps getting. What I'm wishing for". I felt like that for a long time and I never thought love would find me. Love has found me Aaron. I have faith it will find you too. Take care of yourself and don't give up.

Sincerely,

Jeremy

Feels guilty he didn't know.

This was very deeply written. I can understand where you're coming from, feeling that totally desperate feeling, more so a feeling of despair. But, in my own experiences, you just have to think positively and know that one day when you least expect it that person will just walk right into your life in one of the oddest circumstances.

Beyond deep, actually burried to the core of existence, actually at one time I could relate to that, for that one moment, but then found out he lied, and had honestly cared. But as for time....time is not with us..I had moved on. So we see, that actions can lead to what exactly? Just more confusion. Sarah moved on, but circumstances didn't open? Why not? What is that compelling force? What is that scent that lingers on the surface of people? To make them do what they do? In our true heart we hurt just to keep what we want the most. Deep down...the mind cannot be at ease..without substance. How ever you have hurt, and have been hurt repeatedly. You use actions to control...hmm..CONTROL? That kinda reminds me of someone Anyway, time, plays in two ways, either good or bad...maybe the good side will come one day?

Aaron... just to reinforce what Jeremy DeForrest had posted for you, he is absolutely right, i was just like you at one time as well in the sense that i had no love in my life at all, and i was on the verge of such a horrible depression that i was damn near ready to kill myself, but i never showed it, but i was lucky and i found someone that would love me back as honestly as i loved her, i was literally rescued by this person from a very, very, bleak and self destructive future and that tremendous sadness that had encompassed my entire life was swept away like a spec of dust in a hurricane, it was so sudden and easilly turned into joy that all the sadness i had been living before just seemed so trivial and unjustified, i thought it was such a powerful overwhelming force, but how could it have been if it was so easilly changed by just a few words by the woman i love, so just in the sake of you keeping hope, you have to realize that the despair you feel now isnt as absolute as you might think, and that it is actually quite easilly overcome, i know this probably sounds redundant since you've probably heard it over and over, but you WILL find someone to love you back honestly just like i have and maybe someday you'll be sitting at your computer just like i am right now posting on a forum somewhere to some other poor guy that is in your same position now, telling him that there is hope.

by the way, Asha... I certainly hope i'm not that controlling person you mentioned you were reminded of, you know i try my hardest to make you happy and i wont hold you back from doing what you want if it will make you happy.
