Blindfold

Summary: I messed up!




I wear my blindfold,
Hoping you won’t see me,
Knowing you feel me -
Oblivious to the harm I could create,
Never thought you wouldn’t wait.

Arm’s wide open I let us begin,
Reluctant heart wrapped within.
Sweetest candy concealing sin –
Cloaked in silky lies, and dreamy sighs,
Ingest me before I let the stranger in.

Now there is silence,
Now there is pain and loss within,
And the void empty skies –
Is worse than blindness.
I remove my disguise and see nothing.

Out of reach somewhere you stay
Like as winter, icey cold.
Feeling nothing, and looking lost –
Vision distorted and so vague.
The gift I left you with – ‘blindfold.’
