"Stop walking around blind!
open your eyes"
I said.
and so he did
only to reply
"interesting...
but now that i can see
i prefer to be blind
it's better that way."
and so...
he shuts out the world.

Oh, sweet! I love the title...makes me smile, so aptly stated. Your comment offered insight on this cute little sad poem....and gave all the more sense to his blindness for it is the old "love is blind" scenario.
I beg to differ though, I've been discovering lately, it seems, that we (or at least, I) cannot but be blind while IN the relationship...regardless how the facts scream in your face, regardless how reasonable you try to be, yet somehow, you never really see until you are completely out of it. Not until you are no longer in it, can you see what you never did in the midst of it. Thus when considering my dilemmas, or trying to reason others out of wherever, I've begun to realize it's next to impossible; for we cannot truly see until we are no longer in it....maybe we can see snatches while involved, but not the ugly reality until we are out. At least that is what I'm seeing lately. Hence, maybe "love" IS blind.
Anyway, my two bits was rather long, hahaha. I love the title and enjoyed this piece, thanks too for the explanatory comment with it.
Short but makes a lot of sense.......Interesting write!!
