Blind Lights

Love is selfish, love is blind,
And a selfish person in the dark is in a bind,
they can’t go very far.

That’s why he can hold onto but one person in hopes they are to guide him,
And so he has barely enough of his two hands
To hold as hard as he can
To that one person.

But the truth is that when that one person is in love back,
They are just as selfish, just as blind, and thus cannot lead him anywhere.
All we can say, looking at fools running in circles holding each together,

is that love must be a mystery so bright,
That in their mutual blindness they may see the light.
