I Heard Love Was Blind by Opeyemi Odeyale

They said love was blind

I heard what they said

I have been hearing it since I was little

They said love was blind

And love conquers all

That love sees no fault

And would always find a way

I heard love begets love

That all’s fair in love

And that it glows even in the darkest times

But alas!

The course of love never did run smooth

Love comes in at the window

And out at the door

Love creates loneliness

Shatters dreams, creates false hopes

But still

Tis better to have loved and lost

Than not to have loved at all
