Blind

I pretend that I don’t see
What’s really inside of me
I will not turn my back to this
All the lies and boos and hiss
I close myself off to stop the pain
I close the windows so I won’t hear the rain
I shut my eyes and avoid the light
I shut my ears to avoid the never ending fight

I battle within myself for something unknown
All I ever want to do is be with you at home
You challenge me and brawl with me
Until there is nothing left of thee
You spit at me and try to cage me
All you have done is truly enrage me

Engaging, flaming and slightly fueling
Our hearts, our souls are forever dueling
We kiss to ease the pain
And intertwine our bodies to do the same
And when our facades start to fade
We begin to battle and bicker,
The words start to come out much quicker
As our love starts to linger
And disappear into the fire
We are now lost in our wrath and our unyielding desire

I scratch at your eyes and you begin to claw
Our insides are on the outside now
Our hearts are bleeding and eternally raw
We have split into two
With no sign of a fix
We have become unglued
All that is left is a pile of sticks

Sticks and stones make break my bones
But your love is the only thing that can hurt me
I will no longer be blind to you
I would rather gouge out my eyes
Then give in to the real you
I cower into the darkness and retreat once more
Then again,
What are we really fighting for?
