Break Even

I will not fall with my eyes closed,
Love is blind only for a fool.
What is life with no interest gained?
I’ll charge with my head then heart,
No caressing fire!

The good must outnumber the bad,
Time to eat my cake and like it .
This sums up all my interest rate,
There’s no use to build on hate.
No one is counting.

Once beaten is forever shy
I have learnt from my past lovers.
I may not get to wear the ring,
But I’ll make myself a haven
Just to break even.
