Love Makes You Stupid
Love makes you stupid.
It makes you wait
by the phone,
praying that it rings.
It numbs the annoyance,
‘cuz when you hear them,
it’s all worth it.
Love makes you stupid.
It has you commit
before you know all the facts,
you just want to be theirs,
so it’s no looking back.
You’re madly in love,
and you’re never mad long,
with them you feel joy,
more than you had when alone.
Love makes you stupid.
Things will end
when they need to,
pop back up
when they don’t,
have you fighting
the hard truths,
like “you loved all along”.
You never did stop,
just got better at hiding.
Took big steps
in denial.
Told yourself
you weren’t lying.
Love makes you stupid.
It has you
writing these poems.
How many ways
to disquise
in words
that you love him.
Love makes you stupid.
Suspicious behavior.
Doing things,
breaking “rules”,
not thinking twice,
pushing full speed ahead,
got yourself on that ride.
Both of you smitten,
with a love open ticket,
blind leading the blind.
Love makes you stupid.
*sigh*
the proof,
was all in that sigh,
but I know,
you’re far gone,
off riding that high.
Love.
It’ll do that to you.
