illusions

how to see that which we don't
when looking in the wrong directions.
love is blind, so they say
i think merely just missed perceptions.
gameplayers, heartslayers
with eyes open wide
know which way the toast is buttered
it is now for you and i to decide.
if it really is better to have loved and lost
than to never have known love at all.
memories are made either way,
which way would have been better to fall?

mirrors like the images inside
get tinted with age.
sometimes green, sometimes blue
best not to look when in a rage.
like in the mirror, images get distorted
when walking through life believing all you see
don't let it get you down
when the illusion is no longer a mystery.
