I redid a poem, but the original is quite long. It’s nice to see that I’ve improved, though. Original is first.
**Original: Blindfold
Lovely at first,
It was so peaceful, so very peaceful
I lay next to you while you tell stories
I lay next to you while you lie
I grasp you in my arms
But I wanted the affection
The world is crashing down at my feet
My friends are exploding from your possession
Their bodies lie in front of me
Tears cannot express how I felt
Your black hole surrounded me
Taking me in its jaws as you laughed
Can’t ignore the horror I’ve been through
Stabbed me and watched as the blood gushed from my flesh
As I lost my colors you grinned, grimacing at my innocence
Pinned me down, tied me to your hideousness
You put a blindfold on me, keeping me hidden
Describing the world as you painted images for me.
As my world spun around, so did my head
Lost sanity, lost my kindness
The monsters in my vision are almost as bad as you
Pitiful am I to you?
This world you describe seems so wonderful
You let me live in it blindly
Carried me through life since I was young
Teasing me like a child
While I followed along with your scheme
Laugher comprised of terrors
What is this my eyes leak?
Why must you go?
It’s so early
I need you to guide me through this life
This world you made from your hands
Forced me to do terrible things in it
Can’t ignore the horror I’ve been through
Stabbed me and watched as the blood gushed from my flesh
As I lost my colors you grinned, grimacing at my innocence
Pinned me down, tied me to your hideousness
You put a blindfold on me, keeping me hidden
Describing the world as you painted images for me.
As my world spun around, so did my head
Lost sanity, lost my kindness
The monsters in my vision are almost as bad as you
Pitiful am I to you?
This world you describe seems so wonderful
You let me live in it blindly
Am I that pitiful to you that you must do this?
Misfortune must love me
Almost as much as your abusive hands do

**Redone: A Brightly Blind World
Endlessly haunted, destined to be pitifully left
You sucked my tongue, blood veiling flesh
Those vibrant colors I used to see
Melted into nothingness by broken knees
Sores and bruises invite your hideousness, I succumb
Mouth foaming and suffocated by tingling numb
Wrapping a defected face in bandages and cloth
This corpse of an exterior, devoured to rot
Describing the world, your sick tongue twisting
Suffering in torment, a new world from your wishing
Painting morbid images of the world
Clotting and bruising, blood curddled
Stripped of disgusting innocence,
Blessed with a hateful kiss
Licked clean of impure kindness,
Living in vividly dark blindness
This that you have created is dreadfully wonderful
A revolting twisted world splattered colorful
