Blind.

Remembering what they once had
Words cannot cut through his dreams
And while for her he will always be glad,
Happiness escapes him as usual it seems.
For if their romance was just an illusion,
If true love has been compromised,
Then he will not partake in any confusion
But instead shall pluck out both his eyes.
Too old now to want for a new start,
Lady luck never smiled on him in kind,
And he cannot pretend to play out a part
When, but for the grace of her, he is blind.
