When I opened my Eyes.

Dedicated to myself. After a year with you, i realized how much fault i had done to myself and the other people i loved besides you.

1 year.
1 year with my eyes closed.
Like a zombie,
walking around doing things i wouldn't have done
if i was awake.
My eyes closed to everything real
Except you.
Does that mean you're not real?
It'd sure explain a lot.
Like how you made me hate my beloved.
And do whatever you want.
How i walked myself in my own cage
that you had locked me in..
happily.
1 year.
That's how long you kept my eyes closed.
After that,
you know, when you left.
I couldn't dare open my eyes.
Left alone in an open cage.
Crawlin' and crying.
When was i to learn?
Finally.
I heard you.
But you weren't coming back.
So i walked out of the cage,
eyes closed
And like a dog,
you told me to stay .
And then i learned what i had done.
To all the people i hurt,
they crowded me like a dog.
Helped me and caressed me
until i was able to stand on my own,
No dog anymore.
When i had to fix everything slowly,
without you.
Even though you were supposed to stay
through everything.
through thick.
And this was f*****g thick.
But i realized,
i realized a lot of things
that i can list on and on...
when i opened my eyes.

Venting is one of the many reasons I write. Venting is not only fun, but cheap therapy. Great read.
