One’s first love can blind
From the things that can bite you from behind
These things are masked by a pretty face
A face that takes the ugly, and goes in its place
My first love was one with the cutest of faces
I looked at that, and nothing more
At the sight of her, my heart would race at rapid paces
But I was missing the flaws that one should ignore
As my feelings for her grew
My mind began wandering into the blue
I was dumb, absent minded, and ignorant at best
But as hard as I tried, my heart would not rest
The constant pursue led to the binding of us two
But only for so long could this last
For finally, these flaws were shining through fast
I still ignored this, desperation ruling my life
The need for a love was like my eyes being stabbed by a knife
For how could one be as so foolish as to love who they could
Not who could pose as their rock, solid as wood
We had our moments, juvenile as could be
The awkwardness of us was plain as the eye could see
In the dark room of a theater
We would sit, and be silent as a bee
We would be mocked, teased, and even offended
But I silenced them, they were completely apprehended.
She would say she was fine, but inside was hurt
I couldn’t bear to watch her cry
So I comforted her saying
“Love you do I”
Now I started to see these flaws
Arrogance, inferiority, and inconsideration of others
I would hear the tales of all of her achievements
Each grueling, elongated clause
I still ignored these, still loving her
If only I foresaw the next incident
I could have evaded from the emotional strain
I was about to endure
I could have never felt the pain
She left me in the blink of an eye
Leaving a broken man, to sit and cry
Devastated for days, before forgetting the days of yore
The days that I will remember forever more
These flaws were beaming blatantly in front of my eyes
And now I begin to realize
That I was blinded
And bitten from behind
