Blind Man Knows

The thoughts I hear as I listen

Show me how deaf the others truly are

 

How can they lie to my face

Deface a fragile heart

Use fickle bandaging words so fake

 

Pretend, Seek to mend

All I've thought long broken

After all these fake loves of mine have taken

 

A vulture on an empty corpse

Don't they know?

They feed on empty carcass and bones

 

Can't they see what cruelties of thee

Has ladden on my begotten-self

 

Or do they truly, and surely stumble

With lenses pitch black

 

Do they stab as they struggle?

Do they harm as they hurt?

Do torturers double as torturees every other week?

 

If this is true, then it shows in deadened eyes

As they claim us, as those that are truly weak

 

The Blind man knows better.

Dark read, very deep and begs to be answered.

Love the title and the last line, blind men can see so much more than what's on the surface. Good read.
